Vulnerability Data

A Cross-Protocol Scripting vulnerability is found in Apache Kvrocks. Since Kvrocks didn't detect if "Host:" or "POST" appears in RESP requests, a valid HTTP request can also be sent to Kvrocks as a valid RESP request and trigger some database…

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly stops the system from accepting and acting on misinterpreted data values.

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.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require correct input parsing/validation to avoid misinterpretation flaws.

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.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can detect input misinterpretation flaws but does not itself implement the preventive controls.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and canonicalization that directly prevent misinterpretation of inputs.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for robust input handling and sanitization to avoid misinterpretation.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
prevents

Secure architecture principles include defensive input processing and error handling that reduce misinterpretation risks.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards require strict input validation and canonical forms to eliminate misinterpretation vulnerabilities.
