Summary

CVE-2024-29672 is a high-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) 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 32% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) 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-2024-29672 is a directory traversal vulnerability, tracked under CWE-22, that affects the zly2006 Reden mod before version 0.2.514. The flaw resides in the DEBUG_RTC_REQUEST_SYNC_DATA handler within KeyCallbacks.kt and carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8.

A remote attacker can exploit the issue over the network without authentication, provided the victim performs a single user interaction. Successful exploitation grants the attacker the ability to execute arbitrary code with impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Public references include a technical gist describing the flaw and a GitHub commit that addresses it in the reden-is-what-we-made repository; the fix is incorporated in version 0.2.514 and later. The associated EPSS score remains flat at 0.0564 with no observed rise after disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Enforces the intended directory access authorizations that path traversal would otherwise bypass.

Input validation directly neutralizes special path elements before pathname construction occurs.

Least privilege reduces the impact of any unauthorized file access obtained via traversal.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Patching/maintenance can remediate known path-traversal flaws in deployed software (partial prevention of exploitability) but does nothing to stop the coding defect from being introduced in the first place.

PR.AA-05 none match
prevents

PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.

finds

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

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path sanitization that directly prevent path traversal.

prevents

Application security requirements include rules for safe file handling and canonicalization.

prevents

Secure architecture principles require least-privilege file access and directory isolation.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe path construction and mandate safe APIs.

mitigates

Information access restriction limits which files an application may read or write.
