Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:NCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2024-55417 is a medium-severity Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type (CWE-434) vulnerability in Thecontrolgroup Voyager. Its CVSS base score is 4.3 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Web Shell (T1505.003); ranked in the top 3% 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 map to SI-3 (Malicious Code Protection) and CM-7 (Least Functionality) — 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.
DevDojo Voyager through version 1.8.0 is vulnerable to file-type verification bypass in its media upload handler at the /admin/media/upload endpoint. The flaw, tracked as CWE-434, resides in the VoyagerMediaController and permits an authenticated user to supply a file whose true type is not properly enforced before storage.
An attacker with a low-privileged authenticated account can upload a web shell through this path, resulting in arbitrary code execution on the underlying server. The CVSS 4.3 vector reflects network access with low attack complexity and no user interaction, though the impact is limited to integrity changes.
The associated EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.2472 before settling at 0.1776, indicating measurable post-disclosure exploitation interest. Public references include the affected controller logic and a SonarSource analysis of Voyager weaknesses, but no official patch or mitigation guidance is provided in the available references.

V5.1.1
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Malicious-code protection at entry points blocks dangerous file types from being accepted and executed.
Least functionality restricts the file types and automatic processing capabilities the system will accept.
Mobile-code controls define, authorize, and block unacceptable uploaded code before automatic processing occurs.

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.
Restricting execution of unauthorized software directly blocks dangerous uploaded files from running.
Hardened configuration baselines can enforce allowed file types and processing rules.
Secure development practices include input validation and file-type restrictions that prevent this weakness.
