Summary

CVE-2024-2442 is a high-severity Path Traversal: '/../filedir' (CWE-25) vulnerability in Cisa (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data Obfuscation (T1001); ranked in the top 48% 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.

Adversaries may use steganographic techniques to hide command and control traffic to make detection efforts more difficult.
T1006 Direct Volume Access Stealth
Adversaries may directly access a volume to bypass file access controls and file system monitoring.
T1007 System Service Discovery Discovery
Adversaries may try to gather information about registered local system services.
T1011.001 Exfiltration Over Bluetooth Exfiltration
Adversaries may attempt to exfiltrate data over Bluetooth rather than the command and control channel.
T1016.001 Internet Connection Discovery Discovery
Adversaries may check for Internet connectivity on compromised systems.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Input validation directly neutralizes path traversal sequences such as '/../' in externally supplied filenames before they are used to construct paths.

Access enforcement ensures that even a traversed path cannot grant unauthorized access to resources outside the intended directory.

Information flow enforcement can block unauthorized data flows that would result from a successful path traversal.

Secure SDLC practices directly require input validation and path sanitization that prevent traversal flaws.

blocks

Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and path sanitization that directly prevents traversal sequences.

blocks

Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against path traversal and directory escape attacks.

blocks

A.8.27 mandates security-by-design principles (least privilege, default-deny, distrust-external-input, security-oriented design reviews, hardening) that reach a minority slice of path-traversal defects when applied to input handling and directory restrictions; most instances arise from missing or incorrect neutralization that the clause does not itself enforce.

prevents

Secure coding standards require canonicalization and neutralization of '../' sequences in path construction.

finds

Security testing in development catches path-traversal flaws before production deployment.
