CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HSummary
CVE-2024-49747 is a critical-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Google Android. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked at the 38th 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-2024-49747 is an out-of-bounds write in the function gatts_process_read_by_type_req within gatt_sr.cc, caused by a logic error in the code. The flaw resides in the Bluetooth GATT server component of Android and carries a CVSS score of 9.8, reflecting remote code execution potential without any required privileges or user interaction. It is also categorized under CWE-94.
A remote attacker can send a crafted request over the network to trigger the flaw, resulting in arbitrary code execution on the target device. No authentication, special permissions, or user interaction is needed for successful exploitation.
The referenced Android security bulletin from January 2025 addresses the issue through platform updates that correct the logic error in the affected GATT processing code.
EPSS for the CVE rose from a low baseline to a recorded peak of 0.0949, indicating emerging exploitation interest after disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.
Input validation directly stops untrusted data from being used to construct executable code without neutralization.
Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.
Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

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.
PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).
PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.

Banning unapproved code samples and unauthenticated web services, combined with secure-coding standards and SAST, prevents the dynamic generation or inclusion of attacker-supplied code.
Controls that restrict unauthorized or malicious code from being introduced via external networks or removable media limit opportunities for an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code.
