Threat & Defense Details

Likely Mitigating ControlsAI

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.

CP-7 Alternate Processing Site

addresses: CWE-835

Enables transfer to alternate site if an infinite loop at the primary renders processing unavailable.

SC-5 Denial-of-service Protection

addresses: CWE-835

Detects and mitigates infinite loops that produce sustained resource consumption.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access

Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.

T1499.004 Application or System Exploitation Impact

Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities that can cause an application or system to crash and deny availability to users.

attack.mitre.org →

Why these techniques?

Remote unauthenticated infinite loop (CWE-835) in network-accessible software directly enables initial access via public-facing app exploitation (T1190) and causes availability impact through application/system exploitation leading to resource exhaustion (T1499.004).

NVD Description

Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop') vulnerability in ixray-team ixray-1.6-stcop.This issue affects ixray-1.6-stcop: before 1.3.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2026-24831 is a Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop') vulnerability, classified as CWE-835, in ixray-team's ixray-1.6-stcop software. This issue affects ixray-1.6-stcop versions before 1.3. The vulnerability was published on 2026-01-27T16:16:35.903 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5.

An unauthenticated attacker (PR:N) can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). Successful exploitation triggers an infinite loop, resulting in high availability impact (A:H) through denial of service, such as resource exhaustion, while confidentiality (C:N) and integrity (I:N) remain unaffected and the scope is unchanged (S:U).

The GitHub pull request at https://github.com/ixray-team/ixray-1.6-stcop/pull/248 provides mitigation by patching the infinite loop condition in affected versions of ixray-1.6-stcop.
