Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

prevent

Directly prevents code injection (CWE-94) exploited in CVE-2024-48818 by validating information inputs to block arbitrary code execution.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

Requires timely identification, reporting, and correction of the specific code injection flaw in Bodhitree cs101 addressed by CVE-2024-48818.

RA-5 Vulnerability Monitoring and Scanning good match

detect

Scans for critical vulnerabilities like CVE-2024-48818 to enable proactive remediation before remote unauthenticated exploitation.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access

Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.

NVD Description

An issue in IIT Bombay, Mumbai, India Bodhitree of cs101 version allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2024-48818 is a critical code injection vulnerability (CWE-94) affecting Bodhitree of cs101, a component developed by IIT Bombay, Mumbai, India. The flaw allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected system. It has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity due to its network accessibility, low attack complexity, lack of required privileges or user interaction, and significant impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Any unauthenticated attacker with network access to the vulnerable Bodhitree of cs101 instance can exploit this vulnerability. Exploitation requires no privileges or user interaction, enabling remote arbitrary code execution that could lead to full system compromise, data theft, modification, or disruption.
