Summary

CVE-2024-8160 is a low-severity Improper Validation of Syntactic Correctness of Input (CWE-1286) vulnerability in Axis Axis Os. Its CVSS base score is 3.8 (Low).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 46th 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 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Erik de Jong, member of the AXIS OS Bug Bounty Program, has found that the VAPIX API ftptest.cgi did not have a sufficient input validation allowing for a possible command injection leading to being able to transfer files from/to the…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

SI-10 requires validation of information inputs for correctness, directly stopping syntactic validation failures from being introduced or exploitable.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require syntactic input validation to prevent malformed data handling.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing in development catches missing or incorrect syntax validation.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation to ensure syntactic correctness.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for validation of input syntax.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
prevents

Secure architecture principles reduce the likelihood of missing syntactic checks.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards directly require proper syntactic validation of all inputs.
