Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Requires validation of SQL inputs to neutralize special elements, directly preventing SQL injection-based DoS attacks like CVE-2024-57633.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match
prevent

Mandates timely flaw remediation, including patching the exps_bind_column vulnerability in MonetDB v11.49.1.

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

Implements protections against denial-of-service attacks triggered by crafted SQL statements in this CVE.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
attack.mitre.org →
T1499.004 Application or System Exploitation Impact
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities that can cause an application or system to crash and deny availability to users.
attack.mitre.org →
Why these techniques?

Remote unauthenticated SQL injection on public-facing DB server directly enables T1190 exploitation; crafted input triggers application DoS via T1499.004.

Confidence: HIGH · MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise v18.1

NVD Description

An issue in the exps_bind_column component of MonetDB Server v11.49.1 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via crafted SQL statements.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2024-57633 is a vulnerability in the exps_bind_column 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 classified under CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command, or 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 without authentication or privileges can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation results in a DoS, disrupting service availability on affected MonetDB Server instances while causing no impact to confidentiality or integrity.

Details on the vulnerability, including potential mitigations or patches, are documented in the GitHub issue at https://github.com/MonetDB/MonetDB/issues/7438, published on 2025-01-14.
