CVE-2024-47125 is a high-severity Improper Restriction of Communication Channel to Intended Endpoints (CWE-923) vulnerability in Gotenna Gotenna Pro. Its CVSS base score is 7.6 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Adversary-in-the-Middle (T1557); ranked at the 4th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to IA-2 (Identification and Authentication (Organizational Users)) and IA-3 (Device Identification and Authentication) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data
The goTenna Pro App does not authenticate public keys which allows an unauthenticated attacker to manipulate messages. It is advised to update your app to the current release for enhanced encryption protocols.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Mandates unique identification and authentication of organizational users before access, directly stopping improper authentication.
Requires unique identification and authentication of devices before establishing a communications session.
Mandates unique identification and authentication of non-organizational users, directly addressing the weakness for external actors.
Manages authenticators with verification and secure distribution, reducing opportunities for improper authentication.
Enforces authenticity of communication sessions so the system only exchanges data with verified intended endpoints.
Enforces access only after approved authorizations, which presupposes correct authentication has occurred.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Network segmentation and access controls directly enforce communication only with intended endpoints.
Authenticating services/hardware directly prevents communication with unintended endpoints.
PR.AA-04 directly enables verification of identity assertions (mostly preventing CWE-287 in that scope) yet leaves many other authentication failure modes unaddressed (only partial prevention overall).
Data-in-transit protections commonly include certificate-based endpoint authentication to ensure correct peers.
Documenting authorized flows helps define intended endpoints but does not enforce channel restrictions at runtime.
PR.AA-01 supplies and governs credentials/tokens that authentication relies on, removing some weak-credential cases, yet leaves verification logic, missing checks, and protocol flaws untouched.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Requiring authentication methods whose strength matches the sensitivity of the data and mandating multi-factor authentication directly blocks attempts to access resources without proving identity.
Verifying user identity before issuing replacement credentials and forcing changes after compromise reduces the likelihood that authentication bypass can be achieved through stolen or weak credentials.
Mandating segregated approval and oversight for non-human identities reduces the chance that weak or orphaned credentials can be exploited for unauthorized authentication.
Network security controls directly enforce endpoint validation and channel restrictions.
Security of network services includes authentication of endpoints and service-to-service channel protection.
Network segregation reduces exposure but does not itself validate specific endpoints.
