Summary

CVE-2025-26201 is a critical-severity Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay (CWE-294) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 9.1 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Network Sniffing (T1040); ranked at the 44th 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 SC-23 (Session Authenticity) and SC-8 (Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

GreaterWMS versions up to and including 2.1.49 contain a credential disclosure vulnerability that is reachable via the /staff route. The flaw permits remote, unauthenticated access to sensitive credential material, directly enabling authentication bypass and subsequent privilege escalation. The issue is tracked as CVE-2025-26201 with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.1 and is associated with CWE-294.

An attacker with network access can send crafted requests to the affected endpoint and obtain credentials without supplying any authentication tokens. Successful exploitation grants the attacker the ability to impersonate staff accounts and perform actions that would normally require elevated privileges within the warehouse-management application.

The EPSS score for the vulnerability rose from a low baseline to a recorded peak of 0.0101 before settling at the current value of 0.0052, indicating a measurable increase in observed exploitation interest after public disclosure. Public references include the vendor site, a detailed technical write-up, and an associated GitHub issue, though no official patch or mitigation guidance is provided in the available sources.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Session authenticity mechanisms directly stop replay of captured authentication traffic by enforcing freshness or cryptographic binding.

Transmission integrity (with anti-replay) stops captured messages from being accepted as valid later.

Protecting and verifying identity assertions prevents replay of captured authentication material.

Encryption and integrity protections for data-in-transit directly block capture-replay of credentials or tokens.

Network monitoring may detect anomalous replays after the fact but does not prevent the design flaw.

Strong authentication methods can reduce replay risk but do not inherently address captured messages.

prevents

Cryptographic protections (e.g., nonces, timestamps, message authentication codes) make captured authentication messages unusable for replay.

prevents

Secure authentication mechanisms directly prevent replay attacks by requiring fresh, non-replayable credentials or tokens.

mitigates

Network security controls such as encryption and integrity protection reduce the feasibility of capturing and replaying authentication traffic.

prevents

Application security requirements can mandate replay-resistant authentication designs, but the control itself does not prescribe the technical measures.
