CVE-2024-31005
Published: 02 April 2024
Summary
CVE-2024-31005 is a high-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Axiosys Bento4. Its CVSS base score is 8.1 (High).
Operationally, ranked in the top 6.0% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
Deeper analysis
Bento4 version 1.6.0-641 contains a code injection vulnerability (CWE-94) in the MP4 fragment handling code, specifically within Ap4MdhdAtom.cpp at the AP4_MdhdAtom constructor. The flaw permits an attacker to supply a malicious MP4 file that triggers arbitrary code execution when processed by the mp4fragment utility or related components.
A remote attacker can exploit the issue over the network without authentication or user interaction. Successful exploitation yields full control over the affected process, allowing arbitrary code execution with impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability as reflected in the CVSS 8.1 rating.
Public references consist of GitHub issue reports and a disclosure repository that document the flaw but do not yet detail official patches or mitigation steps. The associated EPSS score has remained flat at 0.1211 with no observed upward trajectory after disclosure.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Makes persistent code injection into loaded programs impossible when the executable image itself resides on hardware-protected read-only media.
Dynamically generated code can be produced and executed inside the isolated chamber, preventing host compromise from code-injection payloads.
Validates inputs used in dynamic code generation to block injected directives.
Directly prevents execution of attacker-supplied code written into data memory regions.
