Summary

CVE-2026-1014 is a medium-severity Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information (CWE-319) vulnerability in Ibm Infosphere Information Server. Its CVSS base score is 6.5 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Network Sniffing (T1040); ranked at the 12th 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-8 (Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity) and SC-7 (Boundary Protection) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SC-8 Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity good match
prevent

Directly requires cryptographic protection of sensitive data in transit, eliminating the cleartext JSON response exposure described by CWE-319.

SC-7 Boundary Protection partial match
prevent

Boundary protection mechanisms can enforce TLS inspection or termination points that prevent unencrypted sensitive responses from leaving the server.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation partial match
prevent

Requires timely application of vendor patches that close the specific JSON response manipulation flaw in the affected InfoSphere versions.

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.DS-02 full match
prevents

Encryption of data-in-transit directly prevents cleartext transmission while the control also addresses integrity and availability.

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.8.21 Security of network services mostly match
prevents

Specifying encryption and other security technology for network services prevents transmission of sensitive information in cleartext over potentially untrusted channels.

A.5.14 Information transfer partial match
prevents

Mandating cryptographic protection and stronger authentication on public networks stops the transmission of plaintext sensitive information.

A.6.7 Remote working partial match
mitigates

Specifying communications-security requirements and secure remote-access methods (including encryption expectations) prevents the transmission of sensitive data in cleartext over home or public networks.

A.7.12 Cabling security partial match
mitigates

Armoured conduits, electromagnetic shielding and locked enclosures make passive eavesdropping on unencrypted traffic traversing the cables more difficult, mitigating exposure of sensitive data in transit.
