Summary

CVE-2024-29178 is a high-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Apache Streampark. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 34% 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.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2024-29178 is a template injection vulnerability, tracked under CWE-94, that affects versions of the software prior to 2.1.4. The flaw permits an authenticated user to inject templates that result in remote code execution on the server, carrying a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and low-privilege requirements with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

An attacker who has already obtained valid login credentials can exploit the issue to execute arbitrary code on the server. Because successful authentication is required, the vulnerability is characterized as moderate-impact, yet the resulting code execution grants the attacker full control over the affected system.

Public advisories published via Apache mailing lists and OSS-Security in July 2024 direct all users to upgrade immediately to version 2.1.4 to eliminate the flaw.

The EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.1202 on 2026-01-13 before receding to the current value of 0.0665, indicating a period of increased exploitation interest after disclosure.

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.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

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 none match
prevents

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.

prevents

Banning unapproved code samples and unauthenticated web services, combined with secure-coding standards and SAST, prevents the dynamic generation or inclusion of attacker-supplied code.

none

Controls that restrict unauthorized or malicious code from being introduced via external networks or removable media limit opportunities for an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code.
