◆ SAGE Intelligence — CITED Relevance Research Team

The RADIUS protocol, as defined in RFC 2865, is vulnerable to forgery attacks where a local attacker can modify valid responses (Access-Accept, Access-Reject, or Access-Challenge) using a chosen-prefix collision attack against the MD5 Response Authenticator signature. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.0, indicating high severity, and affects multiple vendors including Broadcom, Freeradius, Fujitsu-Siemens, Schneider-Electric, Siemens, Sonicwall, and Wolfram Schneider. While there is no known exploit, a public proof of concept exists, and the EPSS score suggests a low likelihood of exploitation in the wild. However, given the critical nature of authentication in ICS/OT environments, immediate attention is required to mitigate this risk.

BSID: BS-2024-GLOBAL-266372-C • Model: Qwen/Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct-AWQ • Confidence: HIGH

Attack Vector Analysis — CITED Relevance

A local attacker can exploit this vulnerability by intercepting and modifying valid RADIUS responses (Access-Accept, Access-Reject, or Access-Challenge) using a chosen-prefix collision attack against the MD5 Response Authenticator signature. This allows the attacker to forge responses, potentially leading to unauthorized access or denial of service. The attack requires network access and knowledge of the RADIUS protocol, but does not require user interaction or specific privileges.

Threat Intelligence
● Threat Intelligence Validated: July 2026 | Threat Age: 46 Days
CISA KEVNot in KEV catalog
Public ExploitNot confirmed
PoC CodeNot confirmed
● Virtual Patch — CITED Relevance SAGE Engine MEDIUM CONFIDENCE

Implement strong network segmentation to isolate RADIUS servers from untrusted networks. Use secure communication channels (e.g., TLS) for RADIUS traffic to prevent interception and modification. Regularly monitor RADIUS logs for suspicious activity.

No reliable network detection signature exists for this vulnerability class — apply the compensating controls above and the vendor patch. SAGE only publishes a network rule when a concrete on-the-wire signature can be grounded in the advisory.

NERC CIP: CIP-007 CIP-007-R2
This CVE violates CIP-007-R2 because it involves the potential for unauthorized access to electronic security perimeters, which could compromise the integrity and availability of critical cyber assets.
IEC 62443: SR 7.6
This CVE maps to SR 7.6 because it involves the protection of authentication mechanisms, which are essential for maintaining the security of industrial control systems and preventing unauthorized access.
