Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 2 Apr 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Apply patches or updates from STMicroelectronics as soon as they become available for the X-CUBE-AZRTOS-F7 middleware, specifically addressing version 1.0.0.
Implement network segmentation to isolate devices running the vulnerable middleware from untrusted networks, reducing exposure to malicious packets.
Deploy network intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with signatures or anomaly detection rules to identify and block malformed HTTP packets targeting the NetX HTTP server.
Restrict access to vulnerable devices by enforcing strict firewall rules allowing only trusted hosts and management stations to communicate with the HTTP server.
Monitor device logs and network traffic for signs of repeated malformed packet attempts or service disruptions indicative of exploitation attempts.
Where possible, disable or limit HTTP server functionality on embedded devices if not required for operation.
Engage with STMicroelectronics support channels to obtain guidance on interim mitigations or workarounds until official patches are released.

Description

A denial of service vulnerability exists in the NetX Component HTTP server functionality of STMicroelectronics X-CUBE-AZRTOS-WL 2.0.0. A specially crafted network packet can lead to denial of service. An attacker can send a malicious packet to trigger this vulnerability.This vulnerability affects X-CUBE-AZRTOS-F7 NetX Duo Component HTTP Server HTTP server v 1.1.0. This HTTP server implementation is contained in this file - x-cube-azrtos-f7\Middlewares\ST\netxduo\addons\http\nxd_http_server.c

Impact

For European organizations, the primary impact of CVE-2024-50385 is the potential disruption of embedded systems and IoT devices that utilize the vulnerable STMicroelectronics middleware. This can lead to denial of service conditions, causing operational downtime in industrial automation, manufacturing, automotive systems, and critical infrastructure sectors. Such disruptions could affect production lines, safety systems, or communication networks, leading to financial losses and safety risks. Since the vulnerability does not affect confidentiality or integrity, data breaches are unlikely; however, availability interruptions can have cascading effects in tightly integrated industrial environments. Organizations relying on real-time control systems or embedded devices with this middleware should be aware of the risk of service interruptions and plan accordingly. The lack of known exploits reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat, especially as attackers may develop exploits in the future.

CWE-459Incomplete Cleanup (opens in a new tab)
Base weakness
The product does not properly "clean up" and remove temporary or supporting resources after they have been used.
Architecture and Design · Implementation
Temporary files and other supporting resources should be deleted/released immediately after they are no longer needed.
From MITRE CWE, MITRE CAPEC and OWASP (Top 10, OpenCRE).
