CVE-2026-44184
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2026-44184 is a high-severity Origin Validation Error (CWE-346) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 8.0 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Steganography (T1001.002); ranked at the 8th 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-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) and IA-3 (Device Identification and Authentication) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data
Cleanuparr is a tool for automating the cleanup of unwanted or blocked files in Sonarr, Radarr, and supported download clients like qBittorrent. Prior to 2.9.10, Cleanuparr's global CORS policy reflects every request Origin and combines it with AllowCredentials(). When DisableAuthForLocalAddresses…

is enabled, the API also authenticates requests purely by source IP via TrustedNetworkAuthenticationHandler. The combination lets any website that an admin (or any user on a trusted IP) visits read authenticated API responses cross-origin — including the admin's permanent API key. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.9.10.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Information flow enforcement directly requires validating the source of data before allowing transmission or receipt.
Device identification and authentication mandates verifying the source before establishing connections.
Session authenticity mechanisms require validation that communications originate from the expected party.
Boundary protection at interfaces enforces checks on the origin of incoming communications.
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.
Vulnerability identification processes can surface permissive policy misconfigurations.
Hardened configuration baselines and reviews directly prevent permissive CSP or cross-domain policies.
Secure SDLC activities include review and testing of web security policies to avoid untrusted domains.
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.
Network security controls enforce origin validation at network boundaries.
Security of network services includes validating the authenticity of service endpoints.
Web filtering can block untrusted domains at the network level, partially mitigating permissive cross-domain policies.
A.8.26 requires identifying and specifying requirements for resilience against malicious attacks including SQL injections and input validation (items d, j), plus related protections (authentication, segregation, cryptography per 8.24), which can address some but not most origin validation scenarios such as those involving untrusted cross-origin requests or implicit trust in sources.
A.8.27 mandates security-by-design principles (defense-in-depth, least privilege, assume-breach, distrust-external-input, zero-trust verification) plus design reviews that can catch and block origin-validation gaps in many common cases, but leaves a bounded remainder (e.g. protocol-level or third-party component origin errors not surfaced by the organization's review process).
Secure coding practices include implementing proper origin validation to prevent spoofing.
Hardening callouts derived
DISA STIG baselines are authored against specific weaknesses. Where this CVE cites a broad weakness class, the mapping is not asserted at that abstraction (owner ruling, 2026-09-25: grade only at Base and below), so no rule is shown here rather than a rule shown against the wrong grain.
- No fine-grained STIG row for CWE-346, a class-level weakness, and none of its children carries one either.
