Summary

CVE-2024-45837 is a medium-severity Use of Hard-coded Cryptographic Key (CWE-321) vulnerability in Aiphone (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 5.4 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Steganography (T1001.002); ranked at the 25th 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 SC-12 (Cryptographic Key Establishment and Management) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SC-12 Cryptographic Key Establishment and Management good match

Requiring cryptographic keys to be established and managed according to defined requirements prevents developers from embedding static unchangeable keys.

Data-at-rest protection policies require proper key management and therefore discourage hard-coded keys.

PR.DS-02 partial match

Data-in-transit protection similarly depends on non-hard-coded keys for encryption.

Configuration baselines and reviews can prohibit hard-coded keys in deployed artifacts.
