Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:NSummary
CVE-2024-41713 is a critical-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Mitel Micollab. 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 0.1% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; CISA has added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
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.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the NuPoint Unified Messaging component of Mitel MiCollab versions through 9.8 SP1 FP2 (9.8.1.201). The flaw stems from insufficient input validation (CWE-22) and 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 exploit the issue to perform path traversal, resulting in unauthorized access that permits viewing, corrupting, or deleting user data and system configuration files. The attack requires no privileges and can affect confidentiality and integrity without impacting availability.
Mitel's security advisory MISA-2024-0029 addresses the flaw, and the vulnerability appears in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, indicating confirmed in-the-wild exploitation. The associated EPSS score has reached a peak of 0.9515 with a current value of 0.9391.
No AI/ML-specific elements are noted in the provided details.

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.
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.
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.

Security testing in development catches path traversal via static/dynamic analysis.
Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path sanitization that directly prevent path traversal.
Application security requirements include rules for safe file handling and canonicalization.
Secure architecture principles require least-privilege file access and directory isolation.
Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe path construction and mandate safe APIs.
Information access restriction limits which files an application may read or write.
