Summary

CVE-2024-32736 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Cyberpower Powerpanel. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 8% 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.

A SQL injection vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-32736 affects CyberPower PowerPanel Enterprise versions prior to 2.8.3. The flaw resides in the query_utask_verbose function inside the MCUDBHelper component and is classified under CWE-89, carrying a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 that reflects network-accessible exploitation without authentication or user interaction.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can supply crafted input to the affected function and retrieve sensitive information from the underlying database. Because the attack requires no credentials and can be launched over the network, it directly threatens the confidentiality of stored data within the PowerPanel Enterprise deployment.

Vendor release notes and Tenable research linked in the references indicate that the issue is resolved by upgrading to version 2.8.3 or later. The current EPSS score of 0.6652 with a recorded peak of 0.7230 reflects sustained but not sharply escalating exploitation interest following disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation can discover SQLi flaws before deployment but does not stop their introduction.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly stops untrusted data from reaching SQL query construction without neutralization.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Secure engineering principles require parameterized queries and input sanitization that structurally eliminate SQLi.

SI-4 System Monitoring partial match

System monitoring can identify attempted SQLi exploitation via anomalous queries after the weakness exists.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly target injection flaws during coding and review so largely prevent CWE-89 introduction, yet the single broad outcome leaves residual risk from incomplete neutralization techniques or missed edge cases.

PR.AT-02 partial match
prevents

Training raises developer awareness of SQLi risks and can reduce introduction likelihood (partial) but removes none of the actual coding flaw's risk by itself since technical neutralization is still required.

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

The same secure-coding and static-analysis activities surface missing neutralization of SQL metacharacters before the system is accepted.

A.5.6 Contact with special interest groups partial match
prevents

Early warnings and shared best-practice information help organizations apply the latest remediation techniques against SQL-injection vulnerabilities.

A.5.7 Threat intelligence partial match
prevents

Threat-intelligence feeds that surface new SQL-injection campaigns enable rapid updates to query-construction defenses and detection signatures before exploitation occurs.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure-coding rules and security testing phases mandate the use of parameterized queries or equivalent escaping, preventing the construction of dynamic SQL statements from untrusted input.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Language-specific secure coding rules, peer review and SAST together prevent the construction of SQL statements from untrusted data without proper parameterization or escaping.
