CVE-2024-1454 is a low-severity vulnerability rated 3.4/10 on the CVSS scale. The use-after-free vulnerability was found in the AuthentIC driver in OpenSC packages, occuring in the card enrolment process using pkcs15-init when a user or administrator enrols or modifies cards. An attacker must have physical access to the computer system and requires a crafted USB device or smart card to present the system with specially crafted responses to the APDUs, which are considered high complexity and low severity. EPSS estimates a 0.42% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
