Summary

CVE-2024-57628 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Monetdb Monetdb. 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 45th 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 map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2024-57628 is a vulnerability in the exp_values_set_supertype 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 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, and is associated with CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command).

Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no authentication or user interaction required. Successful exploitation results in a DoS, disrupting the availability of the affected MonetDB Server instance while having no impact on confidentiality or integrity.

Mitigation details and further information are available in the referenced GitHub issue at https://github.com/MonetDB/MonetDB/issues/7437, published on 2025-01-14.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation can discover SQLi flaws before deployment but does not stop their introduction.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly stops untrusted data from reaching SQL query construction without neutralization.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Secure engineering principles require parameterized queries and input sanitization that structurally eliminate SQLi.

SI-4 System Monitoring partial match

System monitoring can identify attempted SQLi exploitation via anomalous queries after the weakness exists.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly target injection flaws during coding and review so largely prevent CWE-89 introduction, yet the single broad outcome leaves residual risk from incomplete neutralization techniques or missed edge cases.

PR.AT-02 partial match
prevents

Training raises developer awareness of SQLi risks and can reduce introduction likelihood (partial) but removes none of the actual coding flaw's risk by itself since technical neutralization is still required.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

The same secure-coding and static-analysis activities surface missing neutralization of SQL metacharacters before the system is accepted.

A.5.6 Contact with special interest groups partial match
prevents

Early warnings and shared best-practice information help organizations apply the latest remediation techniques against SQL-injection vulnerabilities.

A.5.7 Threat intelligence partial match
prevents

Threat-intelligence feeds that surface new SQL-injection campaigns enable rapid updates to query-construction defenses and detection signatures before exploitation occurs.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure-coding rules and security testing phases mandate the use of parameterized queries or equivalent escaping, preventing the construction of dynamic SQL statements from untrusted input.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Language-specific secure coding rules, peer review and SAST together prevent the construction of SQL statements from untrusted data without proper parameterization or escaping.
