CVE-2024-29513
CVE-2024-29513 is a security vulnerability in BlueRiSC WindowsSCOPE Cyber Forensics that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability stems from an improper DACL applied to a device created by the briscKernelDriver.sys driver. This can lead to a local denial-of-service condition and potentially full system compromise. Although the CVSS score is 7.8, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 30, suggesting a lower immediate risk compared to vulnerabilities with SVRS scores above 80. However, because of the potential for arbitrary code execution, organizations using affected versions of BlueRiSC WindowsSCOPE should still address this vulnerability promptly to mitigate the risk of exploitation. The presence of the "In The Wild" tag suggests active exploitation is possible, increasing the urgency of patching.
Description
CVE-2024-29513 is a vulnerability with a CVSS score of 0, indicating a low severity. However, SOCRadar's SVRS assigns it a score of 30, highlighting the potential for exploitation. This discrepancy stems from SOCRadar's integration of additional intelligence sources, including social media, news, and dark web data.
Key Insights
- Active Exploitation: The vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild, posing an immediate threat to organizations.
- Low CVSS Score: The CVSS score of 0 may underestimate the severity of the vulnerability, as it does not consider the broader context and intelligence gathered by SOCRadar.
- SVRS Score of 30: The SVRS score of 30 indicates a moderate level of risk, warranting attention and prompt mitigation.
- Threat Actors: Specific threat actors or APT groups exploiting this vulnerability have not been identified at this time.
Mitigation Strategies
- Apply Software Updates: Install the latest software updates from the vendor to patch the vulnerability.
- Enable Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS): Configure IDS to detect and block malicious activity targeting the vulnerable software.
- Restrict Network Access: Limit network access to critical systems and services to reduce the attack surface.
- Educate Users: Train users on security best practices and the importance of reporting suspicious activity.
