Description

CVE-2024-42974 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 significant impact. This discrepancy stems from SVRS'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.
• Low CVSS Score: The CVSS score of 0 may underestimate the severity of the vulnerability, as it does not fully capture the potential impact identified by SVRS.
• 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 actively 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): Implement IDS to detect and block malicious activity targeting the vulnerability.
• 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.
