Weaknesses this control addresses (4)AI-assisted
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-400 | Uncontrolled Resource Consumption | 3,800+ | Alternate telecommunications services enable resumption of essential functions when primary services become unavailable due to uncontrolled resource consumption. |
CWE-770 | Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling | 2,400+ | Alternate services allow operations to continue when primary allocation of resources lacks limits or throttling. |
CWE-405 | Asymmetric Resource Consumption (Amplification) | 51 | Alternate services reduce the impact of amplification attacks that exhaust primary telecommunications resources. |
CWE-406 | Insufficient Control of Network Message Volume (Network Amplification) | 19 | Provides continuity when primary telecom is disrupted by insufficient control of network message volume or amplification. |
