Summary

CVE-2024-7694 is a high-severity Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type (CWE-434) vulnerability in Teamt5 Threatsonar Anti-Ransomware. Its CVSS base score is 7.2 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 23% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; CISA has added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-3 (Malicious Code Protection) and CM-7 (Least Functionality) — 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.

ThreatSonar Anti-Ransomware from TeamT5 contains an unrestricted file upload flaw (CWE-434) that fails to validate the content of files uploaded to the platform. The affected component is the web interface used for administrative file management on the product server.

Remote attackers who already possess administrator credentials on the ThreatSonar instance can upload crafted files that result in arbitrary system command execution on the underlying server. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.2 and requires no user interaction beyond the initial privileged access.

Taiwanese CERT advisories and the associated vendor guidance recommend applying the patches released by TeamT5 and restricting administrative access to trusted networks. The flaw is listed in CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, confirming observed in-the-wild exploitation. The EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a recorded peak of 0.0228, indicating increased exploitation interest after public disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Malicious-code protection at entry points blocks dangerous file types from being accepted and executed.

Least functionality restricts the file types and automatic processing capabilities the system will accept.

SC-18 Mobile Code partial match

Mobile-code controls define, authorize, and block unacceptable uploaded code before automatic processing occurs.

finds

Configuration and acceptance testing verify that file-upload handling enforces allowed types and does not permit dangerous content to be stored or executed.

prevents

Secure-coding guidelines and security testing explicitly address restrictions on allowed file types and upload handling, reducing the risk that dangerous file uploads are accepted without validation.

prevents

Mandated testing for malicious content and known vulnerabilities reduces the likelihood that an outsourced component will contain or accept dangerous file types that could later be uploaded or executed.

mitigates

Application allow-listing and pre-use scanning of received files directly blocks the introduction of executable content that has not been vetted, eliminating the primary vector for unrestricted dangerous file uploads.
