Summary

CVE-2024-44113 is a medium-severity Exposure of Private Personal Information to an Unauthorized Actor (CWE-359) vulnerability in Sap (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 4.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 18th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-21 (Information Sharing) and AC-24 (Access Control Decisions) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match

Enforces authorizations so that PII is not reachable by unauthorized actors.

AC-21 Information Sharing good match

Requires explicit verification that a recipient's authorizations match the sensitivity of shared PII.

AC-24 Access Control Decisions good match

AC-24 mandates that access control decisions are applied to each request, preventing bypass of authorization logic.

AC-25 Reference Monitor good match

AC-25 requires a tamperproof, always-invoked reference monitor that ensures authorization checks cannot be omitted.

AC-6 Least Privilege good match

Limits granted rights to the minimum needed, reducing the set of actors who can reach private data.

PT-2 Authority to Process Personally Identifiable Information good match

Documents the legal or consent basis required before any processing of PII occurs.

PR.AA-05 full match
prevents

Explicitly requires defining, enforcing, and reviewing authorizations and least privilege, directly preventing missing authorization checks.

RC.CO-04 partial match
degrades

CWE-359 does not impair RC.CO-04's ability to issue approved public recovery updates, yet any resulting PII exposure can partially undermine the outcome's overall efficacy and trust.

A.8.11 Data masking mostly match
prevents

Masking or anonymizing personal identifiers limits the amount of private personal information that can be disclosed through application outputs or logs.

A.8.12 Data leakage prevention mostly match
prevents

Monitoring and quarantining outbound messages that contain personal or private data directly reduces the chance that such information will be disclosed to unauthorized recipients.

A.8.3 Information access restriction mostly match
prevents

Requiring authentication and credentials before any access occurs eliminates the absence of authorization checks that would otherwise allow an unauthenticated actor to reach protected resources.

A.8.33 Test information mostly match
prevents

The explicit prohibition on copying personally identifiable information into development and test environments directly lowers the exposure of private personal data to staff or processes that should not see it.

A.5.14 Information transfer partial match
mitigates

Labeling, chain-of-custody, and access-control requirements limit the exposure of private personal information during any transfer method.

A.5.15 Access control partial match
prevents

Requiring formal authorization of every access request before rights are granted ensures that checks for required permissions are performed, preventing missing authorization checks from being introduced.
