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 Network Sniffing (T1040); ranked at the 37th 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 AC-12 (Session Termination) and SC-23 (Session Authenticity) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise Techniques

T1040 Network Sniffing Credential Access
Adversaries may passively sniff network traffic to capture information about an environment, including authentication material passed over the network.
T1185 Browser Session Hijacking Collection
Adversaries may take advantage of security vulnerabilities and inherent functionality in browser software to change content, modify user-behaviors, and intercept information as part of various browser session hijacking techniques.
T1550 Use Alternate Authentication Material Lateral Movement
Adversaries may use alternate authentication material, such as password hashes, Kerberos tickets, and application access tokens, in order to move laterally within an environment and bypass normal system access controls.
T1550.003 Pass the Ticket Lateral Movement
Adversaries may “pass the ticket” using stolen Kerberos tickets to move laterally within an environment, bypassing normal system access controls.
T1550.004 Web Session Cookie Lateral Movement
Adversaries can use stolen session cookies to authenticate to web applications and services.
T1557 Adversary-in-the-Middle Credential Access
Adversaries may attempt to position themselves between two or more networked devices using an adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) technique to support follow-on behaviors such as [Network Sniffing](https://attack.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

DE.CM-01 partial match

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

PR.AA-03 partial match

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

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.

prevents

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

prevents

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

mitigates

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

prevents

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