Summary
CVE-2024-6188 is a medium-severity Forced Browsing (CWE-425) vulnerability in Kiwiyumi (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 6.9 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 20% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-24 (Access Control Decisions) and AC-3 (Access Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
A vulnerability exists in Parsec Automation TrackSYS version 11.x.x that permits direct request access to the file /TS/export/pagedefinition through manipulation of the ID parameter. The issue, tracked as CWE-425, was assigned CVE-2024-6188 and carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and no required authentication or user interaction, resulting in limited confidentiality impact.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can send crafted requests to the affected endpoint to retrieve restricted page definitions. Public exploit details have been released, enabling straightforward reproduction against exposed instances.
The vendor was notified prior to disclosure but provided no response or patch. The associated EPSS score reached a peak of 0.3565 after rising from a lower baseline, indicating growing exploitation interest following public release of the details.

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
AC-3 directly requires enforcement of authorizations for access to resources such as URLs, scripts, and files, structurally preventing forced browsing.
AC-24 requires that access-control decisions be applied to every request, addressing the missing enforcement on restricted URLs.
AC-6 requires restricting authorizations to the minimum needed, reducing the set of resources that must be protected against direct requests.

Security testing can detect forced-browsing flaws, but the control itself does not prevent them in production.
Information access restriction implements the technical enforcement that directly blocks unauthorized direct requests.
Access control policy directly requires authorization checks on all resources, preventing forced browsing.
Managing access rights ensures every URL/script/file is explicitly authorized, mitigating direct request attacks.
Privileged access rights control enforces least-privilege checks on restricted endpoints.
Secure SDLC can include authorization design, yet the control itself does not guarantee runtime enforcement.
