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-287Improper Authentication5,600+Mandates unique identification and authentication of non-organizational users, directly mitigating improper authentication.
CWE-306Missing Authentication for Critical Function3,900+Requires authentication for non-organizational users, preventing access to critical functions without proper identification and authentication.
CWE-290Authentication Bypass by Spoofing800+Unique identification of non-organizational users reduces the feasibility of authentication bypass by spoofing.
CWE-288Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel700+Enforces authentication for non-organizational users, making it harder to bypass via alternate paths or channels.
CWE-304Missing Critical Step in Authentication48Ensures the authentication process is followed for non-organizational users, avoiding missing critical steps.
CWE-302Authentication Bypass by Assumed-Immutable Data45Proper authentication for non-organizational users counters bypasses relying on assumed-immutable data.
