Threat & Defense at a Glance
Threat & Defense Details
Likely Mitigating ControlsAI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Requires established identification and authentication to unlock, mitigating missing authentication for continued system access.
Requiring identification and rationale for actions allowed without authentication ensures critical functions are not left unprotected by forcing review of authentication requirements.
Authorizing mobile device connections to organizational systems ensures authentication is performed for this critical access function.
Guarantees critical functions are protected by mandatory invocation of the access control mechanism.
Auditing sessions makes it possible to detect access to critical functions without required authentication.
The assessment process confirms authentication is present and effective for critical functions, preventing exploitation from missing authentication.
Certification assesses that critical functions have required authentication controls in place.
Disabling non-essential functions and services eliminates the need to secure them, reducing exposure from missing authentication on unnecessary components.
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
Missing authentication on a public-facing database query interface directly enables remote exploitation for initial access and data retrieval (T1190).
NVD Description
Statistics Database System developed by Gotac has a Missing Authentication vulnerability, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to directly exploit a specific functionality to query database contents.
Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2026-1023, published on 2026-01-16, is a Missing Authentication vulnerability (CWE-306) affecting the Statistics Database System developed by Gotac. The flaw enables unauthenticated remote attackers to directly exploit a specific functionality to query database contents. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), reflecting high confidentiality impact with no effects on integrity or availability.
Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low attack complexity and no privileges or user interaction required. Exploitation allows them to access and retrieve database contents without authentication, potentially exposing sensitive information stored within the system.
