CVE-2024-32036
Sixlabors Imagesharp ≤ 2.1.8
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:NSummary
CVE-2024-32036 is a medium-severity Sensitive Information in Resource Not Removed Before Reuse (CWE-226) vulnerability in Sixlabors Imagesharp. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique OS Credential Dumping (T1003); ranked at the 44th 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 MP-6 (Media Sanitization) and SC-4 (Information in Shared System Resources) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data
ImageSharp is a 2D graphics API. A data leakage flaw was found in ImageSharp's JPEG and TGA decoders. This vulnerability is triggered when an attacker passes a specially crafted JPEG or TGA image file to a software using ImageSharp, potentially…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
MP-6 requires sanitization of media before release for reuse, directly stopping sensitive data from remaining in resources made available to others.
SC-4 requires preventing unintended information transfer through shared system resources such as memory, which is achieved by clearing data before reuse.
Mandates removal of specified PII elements from datasets before further use or sharing, addressing a subset of the improper-removal cases.
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.
Explicit example calls for removing confidential data (e.g., from process memory) after use, directly preventing reuse of uncleared resources.

Explicitly requires secure deletion of information before resources are reused or disposed.
Data-masking techniques can substitute for removal when full deletion is impractical.
Mandates secure disposal or re-use of equipment, covering media sanitization but not in-memory reuse.
Security testing can detect failures to sanitize resources before reuse.
Test-data protection rules require sanitization of production data used in testing.
Classification identifies sensitive data that must be removed before storage or transfer.
