Vulnerability Data
The credentials of the users stored in the system's local database can be used for the log in, making it possible for an attacker to gain unauthorized access. This could potentially affect the confidentiality of the application.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly enforces authentication decisions so that credentials from the local database cannot be used via an alternate or bypass path to obtain unauthorized access.
Requires unique identification and authentication of users before allowing access, eliminating the CWE-288 alternate-path login weakness described in the CVE.
Mandates proper authenticator management (storage, handling, and verification) for credentials kept in the local database, reducing the risk of their misuse for unauthorized login.

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.
Requiring authentication on every channel and path directly eliminates alternate-path bypasses.
Enforcing authorizations and least privilege across all access vectors prevents unauthenticated alternate paths.
Protecting networks and environments from unauthorized logical access blocks bypass via undocumented channels.

Security testing can detect alternate-path bypasses but does not prevent them in production.
Secure authentication control directly mitigates bypass by requiring strong, consistent authentication on all paths.
Access control policy directly addresses alternate authentication paths by requiring all channels to enforce authentication.
Authentication information management ensures credentials and mechanisms are consistently applied across all access paths.
Access rights provisioning and review prevent bypass via unmonitored or alternate channels.
Privileged access rights control reduces risk of bypass through elevated or alternate paths.
