CVE-2024-33610 is a critical-severity Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel (CWE-288) vulnerability in Global (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 9.1 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 1% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-25 (Reference Monitor) and AC-3 (Access Enforcement) — 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-2024-33610 affects certain Sharp and Toshiba multifunction printer and copier devices. The pages sessionlist.html and sys_trayentryreboot.html can be reached without any authentication, exposing session cookies of logged-in users via the first page and permitting arbitrary device reboots via the second. The issue is tracked under CWE-288 and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.1.
An unauthenticated attacker with network access can retrieve active session tokens, enabling impersonation of legitimate users, or trigger a reboot to disrupt device availability. No credentials or user interaction are required for either action.
Vendor advisories from Sharp and Toshiba, along with JVN coordination, list the specific affected models and firmware versions and direct customers to apply the supplied patches or configuration changes. A public technical write-up enumerates this flaw among seventeen related issues discovered in the same product line.
The associated EPSS score stands at 0.6233 with no indicated rise from a lower baseline.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Requires a tamperproof, always-invoked reference monitor that structurally blocks bypass via any alternate path.
Enforces authorization checks on every logical access path, eliminating unauthenticated alternate channels.
Mandates unique identification and authentication for all organizational users, covering the primary authentication requirement.
Controls all external and key internal interfaces, reducing the chance of unauthenticated alternate channels.
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.
Requiring authentication on every channel and path directly eliminates alternate-path bypasses.
Enforcing authorizations and least privilege across all access vectors prevents unauthenticated alternate paths.
Protecting networks and environments from unauthorized logical access blocks bypass via undocumented channels.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
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.
Security testing can detect alternate-path bypasses but does not prevent them in production.
Secure authentication control directly mitigates bypass by requiring strong, consistent authentication on all paths.
Access control policy directly addresses alternate authentication paths by requiring all channels to enforce authentication.
Authentication information management ensures credentials and mechanisms are consistently applied across all access paths.
Access rights provisioning and review prevent bypass via unmonitored or alternate channels.
Privileged access rights control reduces risk of bypass through elevated or alternate paths.
