Threat & Defense at a Glance

What attackers do: exploitation maps to Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190). What defenders deploy: see the NIST 800-53 controls recommended below.

Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match

prevent

Enforces approved authorizations to directly prevent unauthorized administrative actions via authentication bypass in the authorization mechanism.

AC-6 Least Privilege good match

prevent

Limits privileges of service accounts to the minimum necessary, blocking administrative access even if exploited.

AC-2 Account Management partial match

prevent

Manages system accounts including service accounts to restrict creation, usage, and privileges that could be abused for bypass.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2024-55024 is an authentication bypass vulnerability in the authorization mechanism of Weintek cMT-3072XH2 running easyweb v2.1.53 and OS v20231011. Published on 2026-03-03, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (Critical), stemming from CWE-693 (Protection Mechanism Failure). The flaw enables unauthorized access to administrative functions via service accounts, compromising the device's security controls.

Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity, requiring no privileges, user interaction, or special conditions (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U). Successful exploitation grants full administrative privileges, allowing high-impact outcomes including unauthorized data access (C:H), system modifications (I:H), and service disruptions (A:H).
