CVE-2026-20406

Pre-planned substitution limits the window an attacker can exploit unbounded allocation to cause predictable component failure.

This control implements explicit throttling on session allocation, addressing the weakness of allocating resources without limits.

Requires detection and response to audit logging failures as an unusual or exceptional condition.

Implements detection of unusual or exceptional conditions followed by safe mode entry, reducing the window for exploitation of unchecked conditions.

Training ensures users perform required checks for unusual or exceptional conditions as part of contingency roles, limiting attacker leverage from skipped validations.

Plan testing exercises resource allocation limits and throttling during simulated failures, directly addressing weaknesses that allow unbounded resource use.

Contingency plan updates ensure recovery strategies address unbounded resource allocation, making it harder for attackers to exploit lack of throttling to cause prolonged outages.

Provides continuity when unbounded resource allocation at the primary site leads to exhaustion and downtime.
