Summary

CVE-2024-58264 is a low-severity Uncontrolled Recursion (CWE-674) vulnerability in Cosmwasm Serde-Json-Wasm. Its CVSS base score is 3.2 (Low).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 29th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation (including fuzzing and bounds checks) finds out-of-bounds write flaws before deployment.

Input validation can reject or constrain data that would otherwise drive unbounded recursive calls.

Requiring documented secure-development standards and tools can mandate bounds-checked coding practices that avoid the weakness.

DoS protection mechanisms limit the resource-exhaustion impact of uncontrolled recursion without eliminating the flaw.

Memory-protection mechanisms limit the exploitability and blast radius of a successful out-of-bounds write.

System monitoring can observe anomalous resource consumption that signals runaway recursion after it begins.

finds

Security testing in development can detect excessive recursion via static analysis or fuzzing.

prevents

Secure development life cycle requires controls that prevent uncontrolled recursion through design and code review.

prevents

Application security requirements can mandate recursion limits or stack-depth checks.

prevents

Secure system architecture principles include resource-management and input-validation rules that limit recursion.

prevents

Secure coding standards directly prohibit or constrain recursive constructs that could exhaust stack or memory.

prevents

Change management can enforce review gates that catch unsafe memory operations before deployment.
