Summary

CVE-2026-6213 is a critical-severity Authentication Bypass by Spoofing (CWE-290) vulnerability in Remotespark (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 10.0 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 25th 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-24 (Access Control Decisions) and IA-2 (Identification and Authentication (Organizational Users)) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Proper unique identification and authentication of users directly stops spoofing-based bypass of authentication.

Device identification and authentication before connection prevents spoofing of devices to bypass auth.

Authentication of non-organizational users blocks external spoofing attempts against the scheme.

Explicitly requires that every access decision be based on authoritative, protected decision data rather than caller-supplied inputs.

Authenticator management ensures credentials cannot be easily spoofed or reused to bypass authentication.

Input validation can reject malformed or attacker-controlled values before they reach a security decision point.

PR.AA-04 full match
prevents

Protecting, conveying, and verifying identity assertions specifically prevents the spoofing that enables authentication bypass.

PR.AA-03 mostly match
prevents

Requiring authentication of users/services/hardware directly counters spoofing-based bypass when strong methods are used.

PR.AA-01 partial match
prevents

Proper management of identities/credentials reduces the chance that security decisions will be driven by untrusted inputs.

PR.AA-02 partial match
prevents

Proofing and binding identities reduces spoofing opportunities during enrollment but does not address runtime authentication implementation flaws.

PR.AA-05 partial match
prevents

Policy-driven, least-privilege authorization reduces opportunities to bypass controls via tampered inputs.

degrades

Secure authentication control directly mitigates authentication bypass by spoofing.

degrades

Authentication information management directly addresses credential handling that prevents spoofing.

prevents

Secure coding standards directly prohibit using untrusted inputs for security-critical decisions.

finds

Security testing can detect spoofing vulnerabilities but does not prevent them by itself.

prevents

Access control policy reduces spoofing opportunities but does not prescribe authentication mechanisms.

prevents

Identity management supports unique identities but does not guarantee resistance to spoofing.
