Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-1627 involves the use of outdated and weak Message Authentication Code (MAC) algorithms in the SSH service of SICK devices, as detailed in CWE-327 (Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm). This vulnerability enables potential compromise of SSH session integrity, allowing manipulation of transmitted data when an attacker interacts with network traffic. Published on 2026-02-27, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N).
Attackers can exploit this over the network with low attack complexity and no privileges, though it requires user interaction. Positioned to interact with network traffic, they can manipulate data in transit during SSH sessions, resulting in high integrity impact without compromising confidentiality or availability.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
SC-13 requires selection and implementation of specific cryptography types, directly stopping use of broken algorithms.

PR.DS-01 promotes encryption for data-at-rest but never requires strong algorithms, leaving CWE-327 fully possible; the weakness is also far broader than data-at-rest so one narrow control removes none of its total risk.
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.
Mandating approved algorithms, cipher strength and usage standards directly stops the selection of broken or weak cryptographic primitives that attackers can exploit.
The explicit call-out of cryptography-related legal constraints (import/export, key escrow, digital-signature validity) reduces the likelihood that an organization will adopt broken or non-compliant cryptographic algorithms that violate those rules.
Access to current specialist guidance and early vulnerability alerts enables timely replacement of broken or risky cryptographic algorithms with stronger alternatives.
