Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 37.5th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); 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 SC-5 (Denial-of-service Protection) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation).

Deeper analysis

CVE-2024-57624 is a vulnerability in the exp_atom component of MonetDB Server version 11.49.1. The issue enables attackers to trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) condition through specially crafted SQL statements. It is classified under CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')) 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 due to its impact on availability.

The vulnerability can be exploited remotely over the network by any unauthenticated attacker with low attack complexity and no need for user interaction. Successful exploitation disrupts the availability of the MonetDB Server, potentially causing it to crash or become unresponsive without affecting confidentiality or integrity.

Details on the vulnerability, including discussion of mitigation or patches, are available in the MonetDB GitHub issue at https://github.com/MonetDB/MonetDB/issues/7433, published on 2025-01-14.
