Summary

CVE-2025-48012 is a medium-severity Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay (CWE-294) vulnerability in One Time Password Project One Time Password. Its CVSS base score is 4.8 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Network Sniffing (T1040); ranked at the 16th 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.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SC-23 Session Authenticity good match

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

SC-8 Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity good match

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

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.AA-04 mostly match
prevents

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

PR.DS-02 mostly match
prevents

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

DE.CM-01 partial match
prevents

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

PR.AA-03 partial match
prevents

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

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.8.24 Use of cryptography mostly match
prevents

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

A.8.5 Secure authentication mostly match
prevents

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

A.8.20 Networks security partial match
mitigates

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

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

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