Summary

CVE-2024-52726 is a high-severity Out-of-bounds Read (CWE-125) vulnerability in Crmeb Crmeb. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked in the top 26% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; 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 SA-8 (Security and Privacy Engineering Principles) — 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.

CRMEB version 5.4.0 contains an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the save_basics function, tracked as CVE-2024-52726 and assigned CWE-125. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 and is exploitable over the network without authentication or user interaction, resulting in high confidentiality impact while leaving integrity and availability unaffected.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can supply crafted input to the affected function and retrieve arbitrary files from the server filesystem, thereby obtaining sensitive information such as configuration data or credentials stored on the system.

Public references consist of a technical gist and proof-of-concept repository that demonstrate the file-read vector; no vendor advisory, patch details, or mitigation guidance appear in the supplied sources. The associated EPSS score stands at 0.3212 with an identical recorded peak, indicating moderate but stable exploitation interest since disclosure.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation directly finds out-of-bounds read flaws through static analysis, fuzzing, and dynamic bounds checks.

Secure engineering principles require bounds checking and memory-safe constructs that stop out-of-bounds reads from being introduced.

Process isolation confines the effects of an out-of-bounds read to the compromised process.

Input validation rejects malformed indices or lengths that would otherwise cause reads outside buffer bounds.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure-development practices such as bounds checking and memory-safe languages directly prevent out-of-bounds reads.

ID.RA-01 partial match
prevents

Vulnerability scanning and recording can discover instances of out-of-bounds reads after code is deployed.

PR.PS-02 partial match

finds

Security testing in development and acceptance includes fuzzing and static analysis that detect out-of-bounds read defects before release.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
finds

Logging can record evidence of an out-of-bounds read but does not prevent the weakness itself.

prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and bounds checking that directly prevent out-of-bounds reads.

prevents

Application security requirements include explicit bounds and memory-safety specifications that mitigate buffer over-reads.

prevents

Secure system architecture and engineering principles require memory-safe design patterns and runtime protections against out-of-bounds access.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe pointer arithmetic and mandate bounds-checked reads, eliminating CWE-125.
