Summary

CVE-2024-33752 is a medium-severity Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type (CWE-434) vulnerability in Emlog Emlog. Its CVSS base score is 6.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data Obfuscation (T1001); ranked in the top 8% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-3 (Malicious Code Protection) and CM-7 (Least Functionality) — 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.

An arbitrary file upload vulnerability exists in emlog pro 2.3.0 and 2.3.2 within the admin/views/plugin.php component. Tracked as CVE-2024-33752 and assigned CWE-434, the flaw permits a remote attacker to submit a specially crafted request that uploads a malicious file, resulting in arbitrary code execution. It carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.3 reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and low-privileged access requirements.

An authenticated attacker with low privileges can exploit the issue over the network without user interaction to upload and execute arbitrary code on the target server, achieving partial impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

The associated GitHub references detail a file-upload-to-getshell technique against version 2.3.2 but contain no advisory or patch information. The EPSS score of 0.8579 indicates notable exploitation interest.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-3 Malicious Code Protection good match

Malicious-code protection at entry points blocks dangerous file types from being accepted and executed.

CM-7 Least Functionality partial match

Least functionality restricts the file types and automatic processing capabilities the system will accept.

SC-18 Mobile Code partial match

Mobile-code controls define, authorize, and block unacceptable uploaded code before automatic processing occurs.
