CWEs ranked by how often they appear in real CVEs. The rationale describes how this control reduces exploitability of each weakness class.

CWE Name CVEs Why this control addresses it
CWE-284Improper Access Control5,367This control establishes and enforces policies that restrict which users can install software and what software is permitted.
CWE-829Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere298Enforcing installation policies prevents users from including functionality obtained from untrusted control spheres.
CWE-494Download of Code Without Integrity Check252Policies can require integrity verification of software prior to installation, reducing risks from unverified downloads.
CWE-506Embedded Malicious Code85The control prevents users from installing software that contains embedded malicious code.
