Summary

CVE-2024-41922 is a high-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Veertu Anka Build Cloud. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 6% 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.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2024-41922 is a directory traversal vulnerability, tracked under CWE-22, that affects the log files download functionality in Veertu Anka Build version 1.42.0. The flaw permits an attacker to supply a specially crafted HTTP request that discloses sensitive information from the underlying file system, carrying a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and no required authentication or user interaction.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit the issue simply by sending a malicious request to the affected download endpoint, resulting in unauthorized access to arbitrary files and potential exposure of credentials, configuration data, or other sensitive artifacts stored on the server.

Public advisories from Talos Intelligence (TALOS-2024-2061) provide further technical detail at the referenced URLs. The EPSS score remains flat at 0.0524 with no observed rise 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.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

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 none match
prevents

PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.

finds

Security testing in development catches path traversal via static/dynamic analysis.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path sanitization that directly prevent path traversal.

prevents

Application security requirements include rules for safe file handling and canonicalization.

prevents

Secure architecture principles require least-privilege file access and directory isolation.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe path construction and mandate safe APIs.

mitigates

Information access restriction limits which files an application may read or write.
