Summary

CVE-2026-28564 is a critical-severity Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay (CWE-294) vulnerability in Apache IoTDB (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Pass the Ticket (T1550.003); ranked in the top 49% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-12 (Session Termination) and SC-23 (Session Authenticity) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-12 Session Termination good match

AC-12 directly requires automatic session termination after a defined period, structurally preventing reuse of expired session identifiers.

SC-23 Session Authenticity good match

Session authenticity mechanisms directly stop replay of captured authentication traffic by enforcing freshness or cryptographic binding.

SC-8 Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity good match

Transmission integrity (with anti-replay) stops captured messages from being accepted as valid later.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

DE.CM-01 partial match
prevents

Network monitoring may detect anomalous replays after the fact but does not prevent the design flaw.

PR.AA-01 partial match
prevents

Credential lifecycle management directly includes enforcing session expiration to prevent reuse.

PR.AA-03 partial match
prevents

Strong authentication methods can reduce replay risk but do not inherently address captured messages.

PR.AA-04 partial match
prevents

Protecting and verifying identity assertions prevents replay of captured authentication material.

PR.AA-05 partial match
prevents

Authorization policy enforcement and review covers terminating stale sessions to limit access scope.

PR.DS-02 partial match
prevents

Encryption and integrity protections for data-in-transit directly block capture-replay of credentials or tokens.

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.

A.8.20 Networks security partial match
mitigates

Network security controls such as encryption and integrity protection reduce the feasibility of capturing and replaying authentication traffic.

A.8.24 Use of cryptography partial match
prevents

Cryptographic protections (e.g., nonces, timestamps, message authentication codes) make captured authentication messages unusable for replay.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can mandate replay-resistant authentication designs, but the control itself does not prescribe the technical measures.

A.8.5 Secure authentication partial match
prevents

Secure authentication mechanisms directly prevent replay attacks by requiring fresh, non-replayable credentials or tokens.
