Summary

CVE-2024-55030 is a critical-severity Command Injection (CWE-77) vulnerability in Nasa Fprime. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 9.6% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).

Threat & Defense at a Glance

Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

prevent

Directly prevents command injection attacks by validating and sanitizing all inputs to the vulnerable Command Dispatcher Service.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

Mitigates the vulnerability through timely flaw remediation, including patching the command injection issue in NASA Fprime v3.4.3.

AC-6 Least Privilege partial match

prevent

Limits damage from successful command injection by enforcing least privilege on processes handling commands in the dispatcher service.

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.

T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter Execution

Adversaries may abuse command and script interpreters to execute commands, scripts, or binaries.

attack.mitre.org →

Why these techniques?

Command injection vulnerability enables remote arbitrary command execution on a network-accessible service (T1190: Exploit Public-Facing Application) and directly facilitates OS command execution (T1059: Command and Scripting Interpreter).

NVD Description

A command injection vulnerability in the Command Dispatcher Service of NASA Fprime v3.4.3 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2024-55030 is a command injection vulnerability (CWE-77) in the Command Dispatcher Service of NASA Fprime version 3.4.3. It enables attackers to execute arbitrary commands on affected systems. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (Critical), reflecting its network accessibility (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), lack of required privileges or user interaction (PR:N/UI:N), and unchanged scope (S:U) with high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H).

The vulnerability can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers over the network. Successful exploitation grants remote code execution, allowing full control over the affected Fprime instance, including potential data exfiltration, system modification, or disruption of operations.
