Summary

CVE-2024-21575 is a critical-severity Path Traversal: '.../...//' (CWE-35) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 9.2 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data Obfuscation (T1001); ranked in the top 38% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and AC-3 (Access Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

ComfyUI-Impact-Pack is vulnerable to Path Traversal. The issue stems from missing validation of the `image.filename` field in a POST request sent to the `/upload/temp` endpoint added by the extension to the server. This results in writing arbitrary files to the…

file system which may, under some conditions, result in remote code execution (RCE).

Affected Assets

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly neutralizes path sequences so the traversal cannot be introduced or exploited.

AC-3 Access Enforcement partial match

Enforces access authorizations on the resulting pathname, blocking traversal attempts from succeeding.

AC-4 Information Flow Enforcement partial match

Enforces information flow rules that stop unauthorized directory escapes via crafted paths.

AC-6 Least Privilege partial match

Least privilege reduces the impact of any successful traversal by limiting accessible resources.
