CVE-2024-37770
Published: 10 July 2024
Summary
CVE-2024-37770 is a critical-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in B1Ackc4T 14Finger. 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 6.4% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
Deeper analysis
14Finger v1.1 contains a remote command execution vulnerability in its fingerprint function, tracked as CVE-2024-37770. The flaw is categorized under CWE-94 and permits arbitrary command execution when an attacker supplies a crafted payload. It carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.1, reflecting network-accessible attack vectors that require no authentication or user interaction.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a malicious payload directly to the affected fingerprint component, resulting in execution of arbitrary operating-system commands with impacts on confidentiality and integrity. The vulnerability affects any deployment running the unpatched 14Finger v1.1 service exposed to the network.
Public references consist of GitHub issues and proof-of-concept repositories that document the issue but provide no vendor advisory, patch details, or mitigation guidance. The associated EPSS score stands at 0.1102 with no indicated rise from a lower baseline.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Makes persistent code injection into loaded programs impossible when the executable image itself resides on hardware-protected read-only media.
Dynamically generated code can be produced and executed inside the isolated chamber, preventing host compromise from code-injection payloads.
Validates inputs used in dynamic code generation to block injected directives.
Directly prevents execution of attacker-supplied code written into data memory regions.
