Summary

CVE-2024-43360 is a critical-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Zoneminder. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Compromise Infrastructure (T1584); ranked in the top 7% 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 SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) 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.

ZoneMinder, an open source closed-circuit television application, contains a time-based SQL injection vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-43360. The flaw is classified under CWE-89 and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8, reflecting network-accessible exploitation with low attack complexity and no required credentials or user interaction. It affects versions prior to the patches released in 1.36.34 and 1.37.61.

An unauthenticated attacker with network access can supply crafted input that triggers time-based SQL injection, allowing extraction or manipulation of database contents and potentially leading to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the ZoneMinder installation.

The project addressed the issue through multiple commits that sanitize inputs and update query handling; the corresponding GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-9cmr-7437-v9fj and the fixed releases provide the authoritative remediation guidance. The associated EPSS score currently stands at 0.6325, matching its observed peak.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation can discover SQLi flaws before deployment but does not stop their introduction.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly stops untrusted data from reaching SQL query construction without neutralization.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Secure engineering principles require parameterized queries and input sanitization that structurally eliminate SQLi.

SI-4 System Monitoring partial match

System monitoring can identify attempted SQLi exploitation via anomalous queries after the weakness exists.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
blocks

Secure SDLC practices directly target injection flaws during coding and review so largely prevent CWE-89 introduction, yet the single broad outcome leaves residual risk from incomplete neutralization techniques or missed edge cases.

PR.AT-02 partial match
blocks

Training raises developer awareness of SQLi risks and can reduce introduction likelihood (partial) but removes none of the actual coding flaw's risk by itself since technical neutralization is still required.

The same secure-coding and static-analysis activities surface missing neutralization of SQL metacharacters before the system is accepted.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Language-specific secure coding rules, peer review and SAST together prevent the construction of SQL statements from untrusted data without proper parameterization or escaping.
