Summary

CVE-2024-24554 is a medium-severity Improper Authentication (CWE-287) vulnerability in Bludit Bludit. Its CVSS base score is 6.0 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data Obfuscation (T1001); ranked at the 14th 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 IA-2 (Identification and Authentication (Organizational Users)) and IA-3 (Device Identification and Authentication) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Bludit uses predictable methods in combination with the MD5 hashing algorithm to generate sensitive tokens such as the API token and the user token. This allows attackers to authenticate against the Bludit API.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

IA-2 Identification and Authentication (Organizational Users) good match

Mandates unique identification and authentication of organizational users before access, directly stopping improper authentication.

IA-3 Device Identification and Authentication good match

Requires unique identification and authentication of devices before establishing connections, preventing unauthenticated device claims.

IA-8 Identification and Authentication (Non-organizational Users) good match

Mandates unique identification and authentication of non-organizational users, directly addressing the weakness for external actors.

SC-13 Cryptographic Protection good match

Requiring specific approved cryptography for protection directly mandates use of strong PRNGs instead of weak ones.

IA-5 Authenticator Management good match

Manages authenticators with verification and secure distribution, reducing opportunities for improper authentication.

AC-3 Access Enforcement partial match

Enforces access only after approved authorizations, which presupposes correct authentication has occurred.

A.5.16 Identity management partial match
blocks

Mandating segregated approval and oversight for non-human identities reduces the chance that weak or orphaned credentials can be exploited for unauthorized authentication.

A.5.17 Authentication information partial match
blocks

A.5.17 directly mandates generation of non-guessable unique secrets, secure transmission, immediate change of defaults/temporary creds, strong password enforcement, no-reuse, and compromise response, which stops most improper-authentication exploits at source; the bounded remainder is non-password authentication methods and sufficiency-of-proof cases (e.g. IA-2/IA-5 enhancements) left to other controls.
