Summary

CVE-2024-29466 is a high-severity Path Traversal: '/dir/../filename' (CWE-26) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 39% 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) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Affected Assets

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation partial match

Input validation structurally stops untrusted path sequences from being used to construct filenames that escape the intended directory.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

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 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require input validation and path sanitization that prevent this weakness.

ID.RA-01 partial match
prevents

Vulnerability identification processes will discover path traversal flaws during scanning or testing.

PR.PS-01 partial match
prevents

Hardened configuration baselines can enforce directory restrictions that reduce exploitability.

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.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing in development catches path traversal via static/dynamic analysis and penetration testing.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and path canonicalization that directly prevent directory traversal sequences.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against path traversal and other injection flaws.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
prevents

Secure architecture principles reduce the attack surface but do not prescribe the specific coding fix.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards require neutralizing '../' sequences and canonicalizing paths before file operations.

A.8.3 Information access restriction none match
none

Information access restriction limits which files can be reached, mitigating impact but not the root cause.
