How severe is CVE-2024-27348?

CVE-2024-27348 has a CVSS score of 9.8/10, rated CRITICAL. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2024-27348?

CVE-2024-27348 affects the following packages: org.apache.hugegraph:hugegraph-api (Maven), org.apache.hugegraph:hugegraph-core (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix CVE-2024-27348?

Update org.apache.hugegraph:hugegraph-api to 1.3.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-27348 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2024-27348 in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.apache.hugegraph:hugegraph-api. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate CVE-2024-27348 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2024-27348?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2024-27348 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2024-27348 actively exploited in the wild?

Yes. There are 10 known exploit references for CVE-2024-27348, including 1 documented proof-of-concept exploit on Exploit-DB and 6 in-the-wild exploitations observed on GitHub and other sources. Treat this as actively exploitable and prioritize patching immediately. All exploit code should only be run in an isolated sandbox environment for research or authorized testing — never against production systems without explicit written authorization.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2024-27348?

CVE-2024-27348 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 99.2%, placing it in the 100th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. A score above 50% indicates significantly elevated exploitation risk — immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Is CVE-2024-27348 in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog?

Yes. CVE-2024-27348 (Apache HugeGraph-Server Improper Access Control Vulnerability) was added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog on 2024-09-18. CISA required all US federal civilian agencies to remediate this vulnerability by 2024-10-09. The required action was: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. Being listed in the KEV catalog is the strongest possible confirmation of active exploitation — treat this as a critical priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2024-27348?

CVE-2024-27348 is classified as CWE-284 (CWE-284). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

Is there exploit tooling available for CVE-2024-27348?

A Nuclei detection template exists for CVE-2024-27348, meaning automated scanners can fingerprint it. 2 Metasploit modules reference CVE-2024-27348, which lowers the barrier to weaponization. Public exploit tooling significantly increases real-world risk — prioritize patching and ensure detection coverage. Exploit tooling should only ever be used in isolated, authorized testing environments.

When was CVE-2024-27348 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2024-27348 was published on April 22, 2024 and was last updated on July 22, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.
