Summary

CVE-2026-26149 is a critical-severity Improper Neutralization of Escape, Meta, or Control Sequences (CWE-150) vulnerability in Microsoft Power Apps. Its CVSS base score is 9.0 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Content Injection (T1659); ranked at the 44th 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 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

CVE-2026-26149 is a vulnerability in Microsoft Power Apps stemming from improper neutralization of escape, meta, or control sequences. Published on 2026-04-14, it enables an authorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network and is associated with CWE-150. The issue carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.0 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H), classifying it as critical due to its potential for high-impact effects across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Exploitation requires an attacker with low privileges, such as an authenticated user, to target victims over the network with low complexity, though user interaction is necessary. Upon success, the attack changes scope and allows spoofing, leading to high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts as scored by CVSS.

finds

Security testing can detect the weakness but does not itself implement neutralization.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and output encoding that directly neutralizes escape/meta sequences.

prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection and malformed input sequences.

prevents

Secure architecture principles reduce attack surface but do not prescribe specific neutralization techniques.

prevents

Secure coding standards require proper escaping and neutralization of control characters before downstream processing.
