CVE-2024-46910 is a high-severity Basic XSS (CWE-80) vulnerability in Apache Atlas. Its CVSS base score is 7.1 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Content Injection (T1659); ranked at the 43th 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 SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2024-46910 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability, classified under CWE-80, that allows an authenticated user to inject malicious scripts and potentially impersonate another user. The issue affects Apache Atlas versions 2.3.0 and earlier. It has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N), indicating high severity due to network accessibility, low attack complexity, and significant integrity impact.
An attacker with low-privilege authenticated access (PR:L) can exploit this vulnerability over the network without requiring user interaction. Successful exploitation enables the execution of arbitrary scripts in the context of other users' browsers, leading to potential account impersonation, session hijacking, or theft of sensitive data viewed by victims, with low confidentiality impact but high integrity compromise.
Apache advisories recommend upgrading to Apache Atlas version 2.4.0, which remediates the vulnerability. Details are available in the official Apache announcement on their mailing list and the oss-security mailing list.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect neutralization of script tags through targeted XSS test cases.
Input validation explicitly requires checking and neutralizing untrusted web inputs containing script-related characters before they reach a downstream renderer.
Secure engineering principles include mandatory output encoding and neutralization of HTML metacharacters to stop injection at the source.

Security testing in development catches unneutralized script tags before release.
Secure SDLC mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevent basic XSS.
Application security requirements explicitly call for neutralization of script-related HTML tags.
Secure coding standards require proper escaping of <, >, & to block XSS.
Web filtering can block some reflected XSS payloads at the network edge.
