It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-42392 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cesanta Mongoose. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42392/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42392/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-42392","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42392/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-42392","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xqwp-cfr5-f9gr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mongoose Web Server","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An attacker can cause a denial of service by triggering an infinite loop in the Mongoose Web Server library via specially crafted input strings.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Nozomi","cpe":[{"product":"mongoose","vendor":"cesanta"}],"cvss":{"score":4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-140","name":"Improper Neutralization of Delimiters"}],"description":"Improper Neutralization of Delimiters vulnerability in Cesanta Mongoose Web Server v7.14 allows to trigger an infinite loop bug if the input string contains unexpected characters.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Improper Neutralization of Delimiters in Mongoose Web Server library","id":"CVE-2024-42392","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cesanta:mongoose","products":["cesanta:mongoose"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in Hpe Aruba Networking InstantOS and Aruba Access Points running ArubaOS 10","id":"CVE-2024-42393"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Use of Out-of-range Pointer Offset in Mongoose Web Server library","id":"CVE-2024-42391"},"products":["Mongoose Web Server"],"published":"2024-11-18","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Arbitrary File Write","id":"CVE-2022-25299","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-25756","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-19307","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-26"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12951","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-06-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-20353","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-06-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-20354","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-06-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-20355","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-06-10"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-08","vendors":["Cesanta"]},"summary":"An attacker can cause a denial of service by triggering an infinite loop in the Mongoose Web Server library via specially crafted input strings.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42392/"}
