Summary

CVE-2026-10056 is a high-severity Permissive Cross-domain Security Policy with Untrusted Domains (CWE-942) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Drive-by Compromise (T1189); ranked at the 15th 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 AC-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) and SC-7 (Boundary Protection) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

user and perform Administrator Account Takeover via a malicious cross-origin web page visited by the victim. The High security mode is not affected.Workaround: For existing installations running in Standard security mode, set Access-Control-Allow-Credentials to false via the REST API: PATCH /rest/v2/system/settings with body {"supportedOrigins": "null"}. Alternatively, select High security level during initial setup. Solution: Update to Nx Witness VMS version 6.1.2 or later, in which Access-Control-Allow-Credentials is set to false in the default Standard security configuration.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Information flow enforcement requires approved authorizations and would reject policies permitting untrusted domains.

Boundary protection at external interfaces stops unauthorized cross-domain communication allowed by permissive policies.

PR.PS-01 mostly match

Hardened configuration baselines and reviews directly prevent permissive CSP or cross-domain policies.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC activities include review and testing of web security policies to avoid untrusted domains.

ID.RA-01 partial match
prevents

Vulnerability identification processes can surface permissive policy misconfigurations.

finds

Security testing can detect overly permissive cross-domain policies but does not prevent their initial introduction.

degrades

Network security policies can restrict cross-domain communication but do not specifically mandate strict CSP or cross-domain policy configuration.

degrades

Security of network services includes defining allowed endpoints, which can limit untrusted domains but does not directly address web-client policy files.

degrades

Web filtering can block untrusted domains at the network level, partially mitigating permissive cross-domain policies.

prevents

Application security requirements should specify secure CSP and cross-domain policy settings, directly addressing the weakness.

prevents

Secure architecture principles include defining trust boundaries, which can reduce permissive cross-domain allowances.
