Weaknesses this control addresses (5)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-284 | Improper Access Control | 6,900+ | Enforces physical-layer access control on transmission resources, reducing the ability to reach or manipulate them outside intended boundaries. |
CWE-668 | Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere | 800+ | Prevents transmission resources from being exposed to an unauthorized physical sphere by limiting who can approach distribution lines. |
CWE-923 | Improper Restriction of Communication Channel to Intended Endpoints | 69 | Limits physical connectivity to transmission channels, supporting restriction of communication paths to only intended endpoints. |
CWE-300 | Channel Accessible by Non-Endpoint | 55 | Physically restricts transmission channels so they cannot be accessed or tapped by non-endpoint actors within facilities. |
CWE-1263 | Improper Physical Access Control | 13 | Directly implements physical access restrictions to transmission lines and media, preventing unauthorized physical tampering or interception. |
