Summary

CVE-2026-89077 is a high-severity Incorrect Implementation of Authentication Algorithm (CWE-303) vulnerability in Progress Moveit Transfer. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Credential Access (T1212); ranked at the 40th 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 SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SA-15 (Development Process, Standards, and Tools) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)

Our mappings, made for this CVE.

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation partial match

Developer testing and evaluation at post-design stages directly uncovers incorrect implementations of required authentication algorithms.

SA-15 Development Process, Standards, and Tools partial match

Requiring documented development processes, standards, and tools reduces the chance that an established authentication algorithm is coded incorrectly.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0)

Our mappings, derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our CWE→CSF cross-walk — links open the control.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
blocks

Secure SDLC practices directly require correct implementation of authentication algorithms.

Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A)

Our mappings, derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our CWE→ISO cross-walk — links open the control.

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

Security testing can detect flawed authentication implementations but does not prevent them by itself.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding practices reduce the likelihood of incorrect authentication algorithm implementation.

A.8.5 Secure authentication partial match
blocks

Secure authentication control directly requires correct implementation of authentication algorithms.
