Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match
prevent

Directly remediates the specific flaw in the chash_array component of Virtuoso v7.2.11 by applying vendor patches or updates.

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

Protects against resource exhaustion DoS attacks triggered by crafted SQL statements through mechanisms like rate limiting and traffic filtering.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Validates SQL statement inputs to the chash_array component, rejecting malformed or crafted inputs that lead to DoS.

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 in public-facing Virtuoso server directly enables T1190 exploitation and T1499.004 application/system exploitation for DoS via resource exhaustion.

NVD Description

An issue in the chash_array component of openlink virtuoso-opensource v7.2.11 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via crafted SQL statements.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2024-57635 is a vulnerability in the chash_array component of OpenLink Virtuoso Open-Source edition version 7.2.11. Published on 2025-01-14T01:15:12.047, it has 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) and is classified under CWE-89. The flaw enables attackers to trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) condition through specially crafted SQL statements.

Unauthenticated attackers with network access to the vulnerable Virtuoso instance can exploit this issue. Exploitation requires low complexity and no user interaction, allowing remote parties to disrupt service availability by causing high-impact resource exhaustion, while confidentiality and integrity remain unaffected.
