CVE-2024-44623
Published: 16 September 2024
Summary
CVE-2024-44623 is a critical-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Spx Spx Graphics Controller. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 2.6% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-44623 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability affecting TuomoKu SPx-GC version 1.3.0 and earlier. The flaw, tracked as CWE-94, resides in the child_process.js function and permits unauthenticated attackers to inject and execute arbitrary commands through improper handling of untrusted input.
A remote attacker can exploit the issue over the network without credentials or user interaction, achieving full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact as reflected in the CVSS 9.8 score. Successful exploitation grants the ability to run arbitrary code on the affected system, potentially leading to complete compromise of the SPx-GC instance.
Public references include the project's GitHub repository, the vulnerable code path in routes-api.js, and a proof-of-concept repository demonstrating the issue, but no official vendor advisory or patch details are provided in the available sources. The EPSS score has reached 0.3892 with no indicated rise from a lower baseline.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Makes persistent code injection into loaded programs impossible when the executable image itself resides on hardware-protected read-only media.
Dynamically generated code can be produced and executed inside the isolated chamber, preventing host compromise from code-injection payloads.
Validates inputs used in dynamic code generation to block injected directives.
Directly prevents execution of attacker-supplied code written into data memory regions.
