CVE-2026-7402 is an Improper Control of Interaction Frequency vulnerability (CWE-799) in MeWare Software Development Inc.'s PDKS software that allows flooding attacks. Published on 2026-04-30, it affects PDKS versions from V16.20200313 before VMYR_3.5.2025117 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H).

Attackers with low privileges can exploit the vulnerability remotely over the network with low attack complexity and without requiring user interaction. Exploitation enables high-impact disruption to integrity and availability, permitting flooding that can compromise data integrity and cause significant service denial.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-10 Concurrent Session Control good match

ac-10 enforces a hard limit on concurrent sessions per user, directly stopping uncontrolled interaction frequency at the session level.

AC-7 Unsuccessful Logon Attempts good match

ac-7 directly enforces a limit on the frequency of invalid authentication attempts, structurally preventing the weakness for that interaction class.

SC-5 Denial-of-service Protection partial match

sc-5 reduces the impact of excessive request volume (DoS) but does not itself impose the frequency controls whose absence defines the weakness.

PR.IR-01 partial match
prevents

Protecting networks from unauthorized usage can incorporate rate limiting to bound interaction frequency.

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.

A.8.20 Networks security partial match
mitigates

Network security controls can enforce rate limiting and throttling at the perimeter.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements explicitly include controls on interaction frequency and throttling.

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

Secure architecture principles recommend rate-limiting and resource-management mechanisms.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding practices can embed input-frequency and throttling checks in code.

A.8.6 Capacity management partial match
degrades

Capacity management directly limits request rates and resource exhaustion that CWE-799 describes.
