Description

CVE-2024-40474 is a vulnerability with a CVSS score of 0, indicating a low severity level. However, SOCRadar's unique 'SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score' (SVRS) assigns it a score of 30, highlighting the potential for moderate risk. This discrepancy stems from SOCRadar's integration of various 'Vulnerability Intelligence' elements, including Social Media, News, Code Repositories, Dark/Deep Web data, and associations with Threat Actors and malware.

Key Insights

• Active Exploitation: The vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild, posing an immediate threat to organizations.
• Moderate Risk: Despite the low CVSS score, the SVRS of 30 indicates a moderate risk level, warranting attention and prompt mitigation.
• Unknown Impact: The lack of a detailed description for this CVE makes it challenging to assess its full impact and potential consequences.
• Limited Information: The absence of specific Threat Actors/APT Groups or CISA warnings suggests that the vulnerability is still under investigation and more information is expected.

Mitigation Strategies

• Apply Patches: As soon as patches become available, apply them promptly to affected systems to address the vulnerability.
• Monitor Network Traffic: Implement network monitoring tools to detect and block suspicious activity that may indicate exploitation attempts.
• Educate Users: Raise awareness among users about the vulnerability and encourage them to practice good cybersecurity hygiene, such as avoiding suspicious links and attachments.
