CVE-2024-47065 is a low-severity Improper Control of Interaction Frequency (CWE-799) vulnerability in Meshtastic Meshtastic Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 2.7 (Low).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Brute Force (T1110); ranked at the 15th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-10 (Concurrent Session Control) and AC-7 (Unsuccessful Logon Attempts) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data
Meshtastic is an open source mesh networking solution. Prior to 2.5.1, traceroute responses from the remote node are not rate limited. Given that there are SNR measurements attributed to each received transmission, this is a guaranteed way to get a…

remote station to reliably and continuously respond. You could easily get 100 samples in a short amount of time (estimated 2 minutes), whereas passively doing the same could take hours or days. There are secondary effects that non-ratelimited traceroute does also allow a 2:1 reflected DoS of the network as well, but these concerns are less than the problem with positional confidentiality (other DoS routes exist). This vulnerability is fixed in 2.5.1.

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
ac-10 enforces a hard limit on concurrent sessions per user, directly stopping uncontrolled interaction frequency at the session level.
ac-7 directly enforces a limit on the frequency of invalid authentication attempts, structurally preventing the weakness for that interaction class.
sc-5 reduces the impact of excessive request volume (DoS) but does not itself impose the frequency controls whose absence defines the weakness.

Network security controls can enforce rate limiting and throttling at the perimeter.
Application security requirements explicitly include controls on interaction frequency and throttling.
Secure architecture principles recommend rate-limiting and resource-management mechanisms.
Secure coding practices can embed input-frequency and throttling checks in code.
Capacity management directly limits request rates and resource exhaustion that CWE-799 describes.
