CWE Name CVEs Why this control addresses it
CWE-284Improper Access Control5,385Defines roles, responsibilities, and access rules for configuration management activities, making improper access to configuration resources harder to exploit.
CWE-732Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource1,875Procedures specify correct permission assignments for critical configuration files and resources as part of baseline and change management.
CWE-276Incorrect Default Permissions1,789Establishes requirements for appropriate default permissions on system resources as part of configuration management.
CWE-1188Initialization of a Resource with an Insecure Default335Requires documented secure initialization practices and avoidance of insecure defaults in configuration baselines.
CWE-1392Use of Default Credentials104Mandates replacement of default credentials during secure configuration and provisioning procedures.
CWE-15External Control of System or Configuration Setting69The policy and procedures establish internal controls and change management for system configuration settings, reducing the feasibility of external unauthorized modifications.
