Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

prevent

Directly mitigates SQL injection in the jp_add component by validating crafted SQL statements to prevent DoS exploitation.

prevent

Remediates the specific flaw in OpenLink Virtuoso v7.2.11 through timely patching to eliminate the SQL injection vulnerability.

prevent

Protects system availability from the DoS condition triggered by crafted SQL statements in the vulnerable component.

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.
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.
Why these techniques?

SQL injection in public-facing Virtuoso component 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 jp_add component of openlink virtuoso-opensource v7.2.11 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via crafted SQL statements.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2024-57651 is a vulnerability in the jp_add component of OpenLink Virtuoso OpenSource version 7.2.11. The flaw allows attackers to trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) condition by sending crafted SQL statements. It is associated with CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('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 availability impact.

Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction required. Exploitation involves submitting specially crafted SQL statements to the affected jp_add component, resulting in a DoS that disrupts service availability without compromising confidentiality or integrity.
