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.

Vulnerability Data
A vulnerability in Remote Spark SparkView before build 1122 allows an attacker to bypasses the local connection check and achieve arbitrary code execution as root on the server side. Depending on implementation the vulnerability can be exploited by an unauthenticated…

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.
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.
Protecting, conveying, and verifying identity assertions specifically prevents the spoofing that enables authentication bypass.
Requiring authentication of users/services/hardware directly counters spoofing-based bypass when strong methods are used.
Proper management of identities/credentials reduces the chance that security decisions will be driven by untrusted inputs.
Proofing and binding identities reduces spoofing opportunities during enrollment but does not address runtime authentication implementation flaws.
Policy-driven, least-privilege authorization reduces opportunities to bypass controls via tampered inputs.

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.
Secure authentication control directly mitigates authentication bypass by spoofing.
Authentication information management directly addresses credential handling that prevents spoofing.
Secure coding standards directly prohibit using untrusted inputs for security-critical decisions.
Security testing can detect spoofing vulnerabilities but does not prevent them by itself.
Access control policy reduces spoofing opportunities but does not prescribe authentication mechanisms.
Identity management supports unique identities but does not guarantee resistance to spoofing.
