Sick Incoming Goods Suite
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:NSummary
CVE-2026-22644 is a medium-severity Use of HTTP Request With Sensitive Query String (CWE-598) vulnerability in Sick Incoming Goods Suite. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Network Sniffing (T1040); ranked at the 39th 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) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-22644 is a vulnerability in certain SICK products where authentication tokens are passed as string query parameters in URLs for specific requests. This exposure makes the tokens susceptible to theft through server logs, proxy logs, and Referer headers (CWE-598). Published on 2026-01-15, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N), reflecting medium severity with low confidentiality impact.
Any network-accessible attacker can exploit this without privileges, authentication, or user interaction by monitoring or accessing logs and headers where the tokens appear. Exploitation enables session hijacking, allowing the attacker to impersonate the user and gain unauthorized access to the affected system.
Mitigation details are provided in the SICK PSIRT advisory at https://sick.com/psirt and the associated CSAF documents, including https://www.sick.com/.well-known/csaf/white/2026/sca-2026-0002.json and https://www.sick.com/.well-known/csaf/white/2026/sca-2026-0002.pdf.

Vulnerability Data
Certain requests pass the authentication token in the URL as string query parameter, making it vulnerable to theft through server logs, proxy logs and Referer headers, which could allow an attacker to hijack the user's session and gain unauthorized access.

Secure SDLC practices directly prevent embedding sensitive data in query strings as part of input-handling and data-flow design.
HTTPS encryption protects query strings in transit but does not address the root design flaw of placing sensitive data in URLs.

Security testing can detect sensitive data leakage via query strings.
DLP solutions can detect and block sensitive data in URLs.
Network security controls can enforce HTTPS and block sensitive data in URLs.
Application security requirements should mandate avoiding sensitive data in query strings.
Secure architecture principles discourage exposing sensitive data in URLs.
Secure coding standards directly prohibit placing secrets in query parameters.
