Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-24457 involves unsafe parsing of OpenMQ's configuration in the OpenMQ MQ Broker server. This vulnerability, published on 2026-03-05, enables a remote attacker to read arbitrary files from the broker server, potentially including unauthorized files from the host operating system. It is rated with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H) and is associated with CWE-22 (Path Traversal) and CWE-27 (Directory Traversal).
A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation allows reading sensitive files from the MQ Broker server and host OS. In some scenarios, full exploitation could lead to remote code execution (RCE).

Vulnerability Data
An unsafe parsing of OpenMQ's configuration in OpenMQ versions <6.5.2 and <6.9.0, allows a remote attacker to read arbitrary files from a MQ Broker's server. A full exploitation could read unauthorized files of the OpenMQ’s host OS. In some scenarios…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Enforces the intended directory access authorizations that path traversal would otherwise bypass.
Input validation directly neutralizes special path elements before pathname construction occurs.
Least privilege reduces the impact of any unauthorized file access obtained via traversal.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure SDLC practices directly require input validation and path sanitization that prevent directory traversal flaws.
Vulnerability identification processes will discover path traversal weaknesses during code or configuration review.
Least-privilege file permissions and access enforcement can limit the damage from a successful traversal.
Patching/maintenance can remediate known path-traversal flaws in deployed software (partial prevention of exploitability) but does nothing to stop the coding defect from being introduced in the first place.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure coding standards require neutralizing '../' sequences and using safe file APIs, eliminating this exact weakness.
Security testing in development catches path traversal via static/dynamic analysis.
Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path sanitization that directly prevent path traversal.
Application security requirements include rules for safe file handling and canonicalization.
Secure architecture principles require least-privilege file access and directory isolation.
Information access restriction limits which files an application may read or write.
