AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Network-reachable broker, unauthenticated MQTT traffic with low complexity (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N); memory-leak resource exhaustion yields availability-only impact (A:H, C:N/I:N).

An issue in EMQ NanoMQ v.0.24.9 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the nni_qos_db_set function in broker_tcp.c component
AnalysisAI
Remote denial of service in EMQ NanoMQ 0.24.9 lets an unauthenticated network attacker exhaust broker resources through the nni_qos_db_set function in the broker_tcp.c TCP-handling component, degrading or crashing the MQTT broker (CVSS 7.5, availability-only). Publicly available exploit/research code exists in a memory-leak research repository, but there is no public evidence of active exploitation and EPSS estimates a low 0.29% (21st percentile) exploitation probability. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires network reachability to the NanoMQ 0.24.9 TCP MQTT listener (broker_tcp.c path) and the ability to send MQTT traffic that reaches the nni_qos_db_set QoS-database code - i.e., QoS 1/2 publish/subscribe interactions over a standard MQTT-over-TCP connection; per the CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N) no authentication or user interaction is required against a reachable broker. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack with high availability impact and no confidentiality or integrity impact - consistent with a resource-exhaustion DoS against an internet- or LAN-exposed broker. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with network reach to an exposed NanoMQ 0.24.9 broker opens TCP MQTT connections and sends crafted QoS-flagged messages/subscriptions that repeatedly invoke nni_qos_db_set, causing the broker to accumulate QoS state that is never freed. Sustained traffic drives memory consumption until the broker slows, drops legitimate IoT clients, or is killed by the OS, taking down the messaging backbone. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; no fixed NanoMQ version is cited in the input, so monitor the NanoMQ GitHub project and EMQ advisories and upgrade to a released version that specifically addresses the broker_tcp.c / nni_qos_db_set resource leak once published. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all EMQ NanoMQ 0.24.9 instances and restrict MQTT broker network access to authorized clients only via firewall rules or network segmentation to block untrusted traffic. …
