CVE-2024-47253
Path Traversal in 2N Access Commander ≤ 3.1.1.2
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HSummary
CVE-2024-47253 is a high-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in 2N Access Commander. Its CVSS base score is 7.2 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 42% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
In 2N Access Commander versions 3.1.1.2 and prior, a Path Traversal vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-47253 and assigned CWE-22 permits an attacker to write arbitrary files on the underlying filesystem. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2 reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability when successfully exploited.
Only users holding administrative privileges can leverage the issue; accounts with lower privilege roles are explicitly unable to trigger the path traversal. Successful exploitation can lead to arbitrary file writes that in turn enable remote code execution on the affected system.
The vendor has published an advisory at https://www.2n.com/en-GB/download/Access-Commander-Security-Advisory-2024-11 that addresses the vulnerability. The associated EPSS score remains flat at 0.0748 with no material increase observed since disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Enforces the intended directory access authorizations that path traversal would otherwise bypass.
Input validation directly neutralizes special path elements before pathname construction occurs.
Least privilege reduces the impact of any unauthorized file access obtained via traversal.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Patching/maintenance can remediate known path-traversal flaws in deployed software (partial prevention of exploitability) but does nothing to stop the coding defect from being introduced in the first place.
PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.

Security testing in development catches path traversal via static/dynamic analysis.
Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path sanitization that directly prevent path traversal.
Application security requirements include rules for safe file handling and canonicalization.
Secure architecture principles require least-privilege file access and directory isolation.
Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe path construction and mandate safe APIs.
Information access restriction limits which files an application may read or write.
