CVE-2024-39229
Gl-Inet Mt6000 Firmware 4.5.8
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:NCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2024-39229 is a medium-severity Improper Enforcement of Message Integrity During Transmission in a Communication Channel (CWE-924) vulnerability in Gl-Inet Mt6000 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Adversary-in-the-Middle (T1557); ranked at the 7th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); 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 SC-8 (Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity) and SC-16 (Transmission of Security and Privacy Attributes) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Requires protection of integrity for transmitted information, directly stopping the failure to verify messages were unmodified in transit.
Associates integrity-related security attributes with exchanged information, helping ensure modification can be detected during transmission.
Protects session authenticity, which structurally reduces the ability to undetectably modify messages in the channel.
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.
Directly requires integrity protection (e.g., signatures/hashes) for data-in-transit, which prevents the described weakness while also addressing confidentiality/availability.
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.
Mandates network security controls that can enforce message integrity on channels.
Addresses security of network services, which may include integrity mechanisms.
Cryptography is the primary technical means to enforce message integrity during transmission.
Requires secure information transfer procedures that can include integrity checks.
Application security requirements can specify integrity protection for transmitted messages.
