Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 44.4th 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-2024-57627 is a vulnerability in the gc_col component of MonetDB Server version 11.49.1. The issue enables attackers to trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) condition by sending crafted SQL statements. It is associated with 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 primarily due to its impact on availability.

Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity, without requiring authentication, privileges, or user interaction. Successful exploitation results in a server crash or resource exhaustion, disrupting service availability while leaving confidentiality and integrity unaffected.

Details on the vulnerability, including potential mitigations or patches, are available in the referenced MonetDB GitHub issue at https://github.com/MonetDB/MonetDB/issues/7440, published on 2025-01-14.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match
prevent

Flaw remediation directly mitigates CVE-2024-57627 by patching the gc_col component in MonetDB Server v11.49.1 to prevent DoS from crafted SQL statements.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Information input validation neutralizes special elements in SQL statements, preventing SQL injection exploitation leading to DoS in the gc_col component.

SC-5 Denial-of-service Protection good match
prevent

Denial-of-service protection limits the impact of resource exhaustion or crashes triggered by crafted SQL statements in MonetDB Server.
