Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match
prevent

Directly mitigates CVE-2024-57648 by requiring identification, reporting, and correction of the specific flaw in the itc_set_param_row component of Virtuoso v7.2.11.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Prevents exploitation of the SQL injection vulnerability by validating crafted SQL statements before they reach the vulnerable itc_set_param_row component.

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

Protects against the denial-of-service impact caused by crafted SQL statements crashing the Virtuoso instance.

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?

SQL injection in public-facing Virtuoso DB server directly enables remote unauthenticated exploitation (T1190) resulting in application DoS via crafted input (T1499.004).

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

NVD Description

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

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2024-57648 affects the itc_set_param_row component in OpenLink Virtuoso Open-Source version 7.2.11. The vulnerability enables attackers to trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) by sending crafted SQL statements. It is classified under CWE-89 (SQL Injection) with 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 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 disrupts service availability, potentially crashing the affected Virtuoso instance and rendering it unavailable to legitimate users.
