Summary

CVE-2024-57653 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 40.2% 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 SC-5 (Denial-of-service Protection) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation).

Deeper analysis

CVE-2024-57653 affects the qst_vec_set_copy component in OpenLink Virtuoso Open-Source version 7.2.11. The vulnerability enables attackers to trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) condition by sending crafted SQL statements. It is associated with CWE-89 (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.

The vulnerability can be exploited by remote, unauthenticated attackers over the network with low complexity and no requirement for user interaction. Successful exploitation disrupts service availability without affecting confidentiality or integrity, leading to a DoS that renders the affected Virtuoso instance unavailable.

Mitigation details are available in the GitHub issue at https://github.com/openlink/virtuoso-opensource/issues/1208. The CVE was published on 2025-01-14.
