Summary

CVE-2024-8475 is a medium-severity Authentication Bypass by Assumed-Immutable Data (CWE-302) vulnerability in Gov (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 6.5 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Brute Force (T1110); ranked at the 31th 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 AC-10 (Concurrent Session Control) and AC-7 (Unsuccessful Logon Attempts) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-10 Concurrent Session Control good match

ac-10 enforces a hard limit on concurrent sessions per user, directly stopping uncontrolled interaction frequency at the session level.

AC-7 Unsuccessful Logon Attempts good match

ac-7 directly enforces a limit on the frequency of invalid authentication attempts, structurally preventing the weakness for that interaction class.

IA-2 Identification and Authentication (Organizational Users) good match

Mandates proper unique identification and authentication of users, precluding reliance on attacker-controlled immutable assumptions.

AC-3 Access Enforcement partial match

Requires server-side enforcement of authorizations instead of trusting client-supplied mutable data for authentication decisions.

IA-8 Identification and Authentication (Non-organizational Users) partial match

Mandates proper identification and authentication for non-organizational users, precluding reliance on attacker-controlled immutable assumptions.

SC-5 Denial-of-service Protection partial match

sc-5 reduces the impact of excessive request volume (DoS) but does not itself impose the frequency controls whose absence defines the weakness.

PR.AA-03 mostly match
prevents

Strong authentication mechanisms directly avoid reliance on attacker-controlled immutable data.

PR.AA-04 mostly match
prevents

Protecting and verifying identity assertions prevents tampering with data assumed immutable during auth.

PR.AA-05 partial match
prevents

Least-privilege authorization policies reduce impact of bypassed authentication but do not address the root flaw.

PR.IR-01 partial match
prevents

Protecting networks from unauthorized usage can incorporate rate limiting to bound interaction frequency.

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

Security testing can discover and block authentication bypasses that rely on mutable data.

A.5.15 Access control partial match
degrades

Access-control policy can mandate validation of all identity data, reducing reliance on assumed-immutable fields.

A.5.16 Identity management partial match
degrades

Identity-management processes can require verification of mutable attributes, mitigating the root cause.

A.5.17 Authentication information partial match
degrades

Proper management of authentication information prevents use of client-controlled tokens or cookies as sole proof of identity.

A.5.18 Access rights partial match
mitigates

Access-rights reviews can detect and revoke rights granted via tampered immutable data.

A.8.20 Networks security partial match
mitigates

Network security controls can enforce rate limiting and throttling at the perimeter.
