Summary

CVE-2026-47238 is a medium-severity Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key (CWE-639) 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 10th 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-3 (Access Enforcement) and AC-6 (Least Privilege) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
Why these techniques?

Authz bypass (IDOR) in internet-facing web app directly enables exploitation of public-facing application to perform unauthorized actions on stored user data.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly enforces authorization checks so that only the video owner (not other authenticated users) can upload, modify, or delete subtitles.

prevent

Ensures users receive only the minimum privileges required, preventing a normal authenticated account from being able to alter another user's subtitle objects.

prevent

Restricts the ability to perform modifications (subtitle upload/edit/delete) to authorized principals only, blocking the unauthorized change path described in the CVE.

PR.AA-05 full match
prevents

Enforcing authorization policy and least privilege directly blocks user-controlled key tampering that bypasses access checks.

PR.IR-01 mostly match
prevents

Logical access controls prevent unauthorized data access that results from missing authorization checks on object references.

detects

Security testing can detect missing authorization checks but does not prevent the weakness in production.

prevents

Information access restriction explicitly enforces that users may only retrieve data they are authorized to see, directly addressing user-controlled key bypass.

prevents

Access control policy directly requires enforcement of authorization rules that prevent unauthorized access via manipulated keys.

prevents

Managing access rights includes ensuring users can only access their own records and not bypass authorization by altering identifiers.

mitigates

Privileged access rights control restricts what data each user may access, mitigating direct object reference attacks.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle includes authorization design but does not itself implement runtime access checks.
