Summary

CVE-2026-45191 is a medium-severity Improper Validation of Unsafe Equivalence in Input (CWE-1289) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 6.5 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 22th 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.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

SI-10 requires validity checks on information inputs, directly stopping unsafe equivalence validation failures for identifiers and references.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require proper input validation and equivalence checking to prevent this class of flaw.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can detect unsafe equivalence flaws but does not prevent them at design time.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can mandate input validation rules that prevent unsafe equivalence checks.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
prevents

Secure architecture principles include proper input validation and canonicalization to avoid unsafe equivalence.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards directly require correct validation of resource identifiers and equivalence checks.
