CVE-2023-54379 Overview
CVE-2023-54379 is a rejected CVE identifier. The entry was erroneously reserved under the wrong year due to an automation defect and has been superseded by a correct-year CVE identifier. No vulnerability exists under this identifier, and no affected products, vendors, or technical details are associated with it.
Security teams tracking this identifier should update their records to reference the correct-year CVE that supersedes this entry. The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) marks this record as rejected, meaning it should not be treated as an active vulnerability advisory.
Critical Impact
No impact. This CVE identifier is administratively rejected and does not describe a real vulnerability.
Affected Products

Technical Details for CVE-2023-54379
Vulnerability Analysis
There is no vulnerability to analyze. The CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) rejected this identifier because it was reserved under the wrong calendar year through an automation defect. CVE records are typically assigned based on the year of reservation, and mismatches like this trigger administrative rejection.
Rejected CVE entries remain published in the NVD for traceability but carry no CVSS score, no Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) mapping, and no affected product listing. Downstream vulnerability management systems should filter these entries to prevent noise in reporting pipelines.
Root Cause
The root cause is administrative rather than technical. An automation defect in the CVE reservation workflow assigned this identifier under an incorrect year. The correct-year CVE identifier now tracks any underlying issue, if one exists.
Attack Vector
Not applicable. No attack vector exists because no vulnerability is described by this identifier.
No exploitation code exists for this rejected CVE. Refer to the superseding correct-year CVE identifier for any technical details, if applicable.
Detection Methods for CVE-2023-54379
Indicators of Compromise
- None. No indicators of compromise apply to a rejected CVE identifier.
- Analysts encountering this CVE ID in threat feeds should treat it as a data-quality artifact rather than an active threat.
Detection Strategies
- Filter rejected CVE entries from vulnerability scanners and ticketing systems to reduce analyst noise.
- Cross-reference this identifier with the NVD status field to confirm rejection before triaging.
Monitoring Recommendations
- Monitor vulnerability intelligence feeds for the superseding correct-year CVE identifier.
- Audit internal vulnerability tracking tools to ensure rejected CVEs are flagged and excluded from active dashboards.
How to Mitigate CVE-2023-54379
Immediate Actions Required
- Remove CVE-2023-54379 from active tracking lists and dashboards.
- Identify the superseding correct-year CVE identifier and route any remediation activity to that record.
- Communicate the rejection status to stakeholders who may have received alerts referencing this identifier.
Patch Information
No patch is required. This CVE identifier is administratively rejected and does not correspond to a software defect. Vendors have not published advisories for this identifier because no affected product is associated with it.
Workarounds
- No workaround is necessary because no vulnerability exists under this identifier.
- Update vulnerability management policies to automatically exclude CVE records with a rejected status.
No configuration changes are required for this rejected CVE identifier. Consult the superseding correct-year CVE for any actionable guidance.
