CVE-2024-34832
Path Traversal in Cubecart ≤ 6.5.5
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2024-34832 is a critical-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Cubecart Cubecart. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).
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 AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2024-34832 is a directory traversal vulnerability, tracked under CWE-22, that affects CubeCart versions 6.5.5 and earlier. The flaw resides in the handling of the _g and node parameters during file uploads and permits an unauthenticated attacker to supply a crafted file that traverses directories, ultimately enabling arbitrary code execution. It carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8, reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and no required privileges or user interaction.
An attacker with no prior access can send a malicious upload request to the affected parameters and achieve remote code execution on the server. Successful exploitation grants full control over the application and underlying host, including the ability to read, modify, or delete data and install persistent malware.
The two reference URLs both point to the same GitHub repository containing proof-of-concept material; no vendor advisory, patch information, or mitigation guidance is supplied in the available references.
EPSS for the CVE rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.1062 on 2025-12-11 before receding to the current value of 0.0830, indicating a modest but noticeable increase in exploitation interest after disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Enforces the intended directory access authorizations that path traversal would otherwise bypass.
Input validation directly neutralizes special path elements before pathname construction occurs.
Least privilege reduces the impact of any unauthorized file access obtained via traversal.

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.
Patching/maintenance can remediate known path-traversal flaws in deployed software (partial prevention of exploitability) but does nothing to stop the coding defect from being introduced in the first place.
PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.
