CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2024-21760 is a high-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Fortinet Fortisoar. Its CVSS base score is 8.4 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Junk Data (T1001.001); ranked in the top 44% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2024-21760 is a code injection vulnerability (CWE-94) affecting the FortiSOAR Connector in FortiSOAR versions 7.4, 7.3, 7.2, 7.0, and 6.4 across all releases. It stems from improper control of code generation, enabling an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the host system through a playbook code snippet. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity due to its potential for complete system compromise.
An authenticated attacker with high privileges (PR:H) can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L), though it requires user interaction (UI:R), such as triggering a malicious playbook snippet. Successful exploitation grants the attacker high-impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability effects across the affected scope (S:C), potentially leading to full remote code execution on the FortiSOAR host.
For mitigation details, refer to the Fortinet advisory at https://fortiguard.fortinet.com/psirt/FG-IR-23-420, which provides guidance on patches and workarounds for affected versions.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.
Input validation directly stops untrusted data from being used to construct executable code without neutralization.
Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.
Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).
PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.
