Summary

CVE-2024-57640 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Openlinksw Virtuoso. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 38.9% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; 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 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).

Deeper analysis

CVE-2024-57640 is a vulnerability in the dc_add_int component of OpenLink Virtuoso OpenSource version 7.2.11. The issue allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) condition through crafted SQL statements. It has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) and is associated with CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command, or SQL Injection).

The vulnerability can be exploited by unauthenticated remote attackers over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation enables high-impact integrity violations, as indicated by the CVSS metrics, potentially allowing manipulation of data integrity without affecting confidentiality or availability directly.

Mitigation details are referenced in the GitHub issue at https://github.com/openlink/virtuoso-opensource/issues/1184, which provides additional context on the vulnerability.
