Summary
CVE-2024-47258 is a high-severity Improper Certificate Validation (CWE-295) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 8.1 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Security Account Manager (T1003.002); ranked at the 3th 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-17 (Public Key Infrastructure Certificates) and SC-23 (Session Authenticity) — 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-2024-47258 affects 2N Access Commander versions 2.1 and prior, where default settings fail to verify TLS certificates of connected 2N edge devices, enabling man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. This vulnerability, classified under CWE-295 (Improper Certificate Validation), carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.1 (AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N), indicating high severity due to elevated confidentiality and integrity impacts.
An attacker with adjacent network access, such as on the same local network segment, can exploit this without privileges or user interaction by positioning themselves between the Access Commander server and 2N edge devices. Successful exploitation allows interception and modification of sensitive communications, potentially compromising credentials, configuration data, or access control decisions relayed between the management software and physical access control hardware.
The vendor advises updating to 2N Access Commander version 3.3, which introduces Certificate Fingerprint Verification. Since version 2.2 (released February 2022), TLS certificate validation can also be manually enforced. Customers should upgrade to the latest version and implement one of these practices for mitigation, as detailed in the vendor advisory at https://www.2n.com/en-GB/download/cve_2024_47258_acom_3_3_v1pdf.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
PKI certificate issuance and acquisition under an approved policy establishes the trusted roots and processes needed for correct validation.
Protecting session authenticity depends on cryptographic mechanisms whose trust depends on correct certificate validation.
Requiring confidentiality and integrity protection of transmitted data drives use of properly validated certificates in protocols such as TLS.
