AI Analysis

Impact

The Ref::SignalGen component of the fprime framework v4.2.2 performs no validation on user‑controlled parameters, allowing an attacker to supply unsafe values that trigger a denial of service. The weakness is the result of improper input validation, leading to uncontrolled resource usage or a fatal error within the component.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability exists in fprime framework version 4.2.2, specifically within the Ref::SignalGen component. No other versions or vendor products are currently known to be affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is listed as less than 1%, indicating a very low but nonzero probability of exploitation. The CVSS score of 7.5 reflects moderate to high severity. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, and no documented public exploits exist at present. Attackers would need to provide crafted parameters to the SignalGen component; based on the description, it is inferred that such parameters can be supplied by a user with access to the component. However, specific external attack vectors are not detailed in the advisory.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to the latest fprime release that contains a fix for this issue.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, modify the SignalGen configuration to reject parameters that fall outside defined safe ranges and log any such rejected inputs.
  • Implement defensive input validation in the component’s parameter processing layer to ensure all user‑controlled values are sanitized before use.
