CVE-2024-7113
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedIf exploited, this vulnerability could cause a SuiteLink server to consume excessive system resources and slow down processing of Data I/O for the duration of the attack.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThis is a denial-of-service vulnerability in SuiteLink servers where an attacker can cause excessive system resource consumption, leading to slowed Data I/O processing for the entire duration of the attack. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated or authenticated attackers to trigger resource exhaustion, likely through algorithmic complexity manipulation or resource leak exploitation.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify SuiteLink servers in your environmentLocate servers running GE Digital or Honeywell SuiteLink software. Check process lists, running services, or network listeners on common SuiteLink ports (typically TCP 12345 or as configured).Affected if You have SuiteLink servers installed and running
-
Verify network exposure of SuiteLink serviceReview firewall rules and network ACLs to determine if SuiteLink ports are accessible from untrusted networks or the internet. Use netstat or port scanning tools to identify exposed listeners.Affected if SuiteLink service is directly accessible from untrusted networks without authentication barriers
-
Check authentication configuration for SuiteLinkExamine SuiteLink server configuration files and authentication settings to verify whether unauthenticated connections are permitted or if authentication is enforced.Affected if Unauthenticated access is allowed or authentication is not mandatory
-
Monitor for resource exhaustion indicatorsTrack CPU, memory, and network usage patterns on SuiteLink servers. Look for sustained high resource consumption, connection queue buildup, or processing delays.Affected if Server shows abnormal resource consumption or degraded Data I/O performance
-
Review connection limits and throttling configurationInspect SuiteLink configuration for connection limits, thread pool settings, and rate limiting controls. Verify if limits are configured or set to unbounded.Affected if Connection limits are absent, set too high, or throttling is disabled
A user is affected if they run SuiteLink servers that are network-accessible with inadequate connection controls or authentication enforcement, leading to observable resource exhaustion or performance degradation.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement network-level rate limiting and connection throttling on the SuiteLink server; contact the vendor (GE Digital/Honeywell) for the specific patch and hardening guidance; monitor system resource usage for anomalous patterns.
