Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-25939 is an authorization bypass vulnerability (CWE-862) affecting FUXA, a web-based Process Visualization (SCADA/HMI/Dashboard) software. The issue impacts versions 1.2.8 through 1.2.10, where attackers can bypass authentication controls to create and modify arbitrary schedulers. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H), highlighting its critical severity due to high integrity and availability impacts with no privileges required.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation enables the creation and modification of schedulers, potentially disrupting or manipulating connected ICS/SCADA environments and enabling follow-on actions such as unauthorized control or denial of service.
Mitigation is available in FUXA version 1.2.11, which patches the authorization bypass. Security practitioners should upgrade to this version immediately. Relevant advisories and details are provided in the GitHub security advisory (GHSA-c869-jx4c-q5fc), the release notes for v1.2.11, and the patching commit (5782b35117a9bd14ffcb881f8dfb8c6680157d9b).

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
AC-3 directly requires enforcement of authorization decisions on every access request, structurally eliminating missing authorization checks.
AC-24 mandates that access control decisions are applied to each request, preventing bypass of authorization logic.
AC-25 requires a tamperproof, always-invoked reference monitor that ensures authorization checks cannot be omitted.
AC-6 reduces the set of actions reachable without proper authorization, limiting blast radius of missing checks.

Explicitly requires defining, enforcing, and reviewing authorizations and least privilege, directly preventing missing authorization checks.
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.
Requiring authentication and credentials before any access occurs eliminates the absence of authorization checks that would otherwise allow an unauthenticated actor to reach protected resources.
Requiring formal authorization of every access request before rights are granted ensures that checks for required permissions are performed, preventing missing authorization checks from being introduced.
Mandatory authorization checks and central records of granted rights ensure that every access attempt is preceded by an explicit decision rather than relying on missing checks.
Segregating the approval of access rights from their implementation provides an independent check that reduces the impact of missing authorization checks in the resulting system configuration.
By requiring competent outsiders to verify that every function enforces the need-to-know principle, the control lowers the likelihood that missing authorization checks persist undetected.
Defining authorization responsibilities and reviewing risk-treatment progress throughout the project lifecycle catches missing authorization checks before the system is deployed.
