Published: 05 February 2025
Summary
CVE-2024-57080 is a high-severity Prototype Pollution (CWE-1321) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 40.6th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SC-5 (Denial-of-service Protection) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).
Threat & Defense at a Glance
Threat & Defense Details
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI
SI-2 requires timely flaw remediation, directly addressing the prototype pollution vulnerability by patching vxe-table to eliminate the DoS condition.
SI-10 enforces validation of information inputs, mitigating crafted payloads targeting the lib.install function to prevent prototype pollution.
SC-5 provides denial-of-service protection mechanisms that limit the impact of the availability disruption caused by prototype pollution exploits.
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
Prototype pollution in public-facing JS library directly enables remote exploitation (T1190) leading to application DoS via crafted payload (T1499.004).
NVD Description
A prototype pollution in the lib.install function of vxe-table v4.8.10 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via supplying a crafted payload.
Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2024-57080 is a prototype pollution vulnerability in the lib.install function of vxe-table version 4.8.10. This flaw allows attackers to supply a crafted payload that pollutes the JavaScript object prototype, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-1321 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H), indicating high severity primarily due to its impact on availability.
Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity, requiring no privileges, authentication, or user interaction. By injecting a malicious payload into the lib.install function, attackers can disrupt application functionality, causing the service to crash or become unresponsive, resulting in a DoS without affecting confidentiality or integrity.
