22
FAUCET Score

CVE-2024-7884 is a memory leak vulnerability in the DFINITY canister_developer_kit_for_the_internet_computer (ic_cdk) affecting Rust-based canisters. It occurs when canister methods are called, timers are used, or heartbeat functions are triggered, leading to the persistence of internal state references and a gradual accumulation of memory on the canister's heap. With a CVSS score of 7.5 (High), this vulnerability can result in denial of service due to heap memory exhaustion, though it requires no user interaction or complex attack vectors. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
