Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

preventrecover

Directly remediates the template injection vulnerability in Fprime v3.4.3 dashboard by identifying, reporting, and correcting the specific flaw enabling arbitrary code execution.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

prevent

Validates the content of uploaded Vue files to block crafted inputs that trigger template injection and arbitrary code execution.

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match

prevent

Enforces approved authorizations to require authentication for dashboard file uploads, preventing unauthenticated remote 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.

Why these techniques?

Remote unauthenticated RCE via template injection and crafted file upload in a web dashboard component directly enables exploitation of public-facing applications (T1190) and arbitrary code execution through command/scripting interpreters (T1059).

NVD Description

A template injection vulnerability in the Dashboard of NASA Fprime v3.4.3 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via uploading a crafted Vue file.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2024-55028 is a template injection vulnerability in the Dashboard component of NASA Fprime version 3.4.3. The issue, classified under CWE-94 (Code Injection), enables attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading a specially crafted Vue file. It carries 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), marking it as critical due to its potential for severe impact.

The vulnerability can be exploited by remote, unauthenticated attackers with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation grants attackers the ability to execute arbitrary code on the affected system, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability to a high degree.
