Summary

CVE-2024-45672 is a medium-severity MAID (CWE-471) vulnerability in Ibm Security Verify Bridge. Its CVSS base score is 6.0 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Path Interception (T1034); ranked at the 4th 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-3 (Access Enforcement) and AC-6 (Least Privilege) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match

Access enforcement directly stops unauthorized modification of elements that should remain immutable.

AC-6 Least Privilege good match

Least privilege reduces the set of subjects that can reach or alter assumed-immutable data.

SI-7 Software, Firmware, and Information Integrity good match

Integrity verification tools discover unauthorized changes after they occur.

PR.AA-05 mostly match
prevents

Least-privilege access controls directly block unauthorized writes to assumed-immutable data.

PR.DS-01 mostly match
prevents

Integrity mechanisms for data-at-rest prevent modification of elements expected to remain immutable.

PR.DS-10 mostly match
prevents

Protecting data-in-use integrity stops runtime tampering of values treated as constant.

PR.IR-01 partial match
prevents

Logical access controls reduce the attack surface for modifying internal assumed-immutable state.

PR.PS-01 partial match
prevents

Hardened configuration baselines limit opportunities to alter data presumed immutable.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can detect unauthorized modification paths for assumed-immutable data.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices include design reviews that identify and protect data assumed to be immutable.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can mandate integrity protections for data declared immutable.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
prevents

Secure architecture principles call for explicit immutability guarantees and enforcement mechanisms.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards discourage mutable storage for values that must remain constant.

A.8.3 Information access restriction partial match
mitigates

Access-control rules directly prevent unauthorized modification of data assumed to be immutable.
