Summary

CVE-2026-9831 is a medium-severity Race Condition (CWE-362) vulnerability in Extremenetworks (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 6.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 7th 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-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

A race condition in the shared Extreme Platform ONE IAM Gateway API-key authentication path could, under specific high-concurrency traffic conditions, intermittently allow requests authenticated with an Extreme Platform ONE /IAM-issued API key to receive response data for another tenant. The…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-3 enforces access decisions that can be scoped to the correct session context.

AC-4 controls information flows between entities, reducing cross-session leakage.

SC-4 directly stops unintended transfer of data through shared resources that different sessions may access.

Maintaining separate execution domains for each process structurally eliminates unintended concurrent access to the same shared resources.

Secure SDLC practices directly require proper synchronization primitives and concurrency testing that prevent race conditions.

Enforcing authorization policies and least privilege can prevent cross-session data exposure when session separation is treated as an access rule.

Protecting data-in-use directly addresses runtime leakage of session data to unauthorized contexts.

Logical access controls and segmentation can be applied to isolate session state within applications or environments.

finds

Security testing can detect race conditions, but does not prevent them at design or coding time.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates concurrency controls and synchronization primitives that directly prevent race conditions.

prevents

Application security requirements can specify thread-safety and locking rules, but do not prescribe implementation details.

prevents

Secure architecture principles require proper synchronization and resource isolation, addressing the root cause of CWE-362.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe concurrent access patterns and mandate atomic operations or locks.

mitigates

Information access restriction directly enforces session boundaries so data is not exposed to the wrong session.
