CVE-2024-22044
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/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-2024-22044 is a high-severity Hidden Functionality (CWE-912) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).
Operationally, ranked at the 43th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to CM-2 (Baseline Configuration) and CM-7 (Least Functionality) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data
A vulnerability has been identified in SENTRON 3KC ATC6 Expansion Module Ethernet (3KC9000-8TL75) (All versions). Affected devices expose an unused, unstable http service at port 80/tcp on the Modbus-TCP Ethernet. This could allow an attacker on the same Modbus network…

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Maintaining and reviewing a documented baseline configuration allows comparison that reveals any functionality absent from the approved specification.
Least-functionality configuration explicitly prohibits or restricts any capability not required by the approved baseline, blocking hidden additions.
Developer testing and evaluation activities are designed to discover undocumented or unspecified functionality after it has been introduced.
Documented development processes and standards require all functionality to be specified and visible, structurally preventing undocumented hidden features.
An SDLC that incorporates security engineering principles mandates that all product functions be part of the approved specification.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Monitoring activities can detect anomalous behavior from hidden functions but do not eliminate the weakness.
Secure development life cycle mandates documented requirements and design reviews that would expose undocumented hidden functionality.
A.8.26 only requires that security requirements (including resilience against attacks such as SQL injection) be identified and specified during development or acquisition; it does not itself enforce, implement, or prevent the presence of hidden/backdoor functionality that violates those requirements.
Secure system architecture and engineering principles require transparent, documented designs that preclude hidden functionality.
Secure coding standards reduce the likelihood of introducing hidden code but do not address its detection or removal.
Security testing in development and acceptance can discover undocumented functionality before release.
Hardening callouts derived
DISA STIG baselines are authored against specific weaknesses. Where this CVE cites a broad weakness class, the mapping is not asserted at that abstraction (owner ruling, 2026-09-25: grade only at Base and below), so no rule is shown here rather than a rule shown against the wrong grain.
- No fine-grained STIG row for CWE-912, a class-level weakness, and none of its children carries one either.
