Weaknesses this control addresses (3)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+ | Reduces the attack surface for physical tampering or destruction of a critical system resource by enforcing environmental and access protections around power infrastructure. |
CWE-732 | Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource | 1,900+ | Ensures that a critical resource (power delivery) receives appropriate physical permission assignments and safeguards instead of default or inadequate protection. |
CWE-1263 | Improper Physical Access Control | 13 | Directly implements physical barriers, enclosures, and access restrictions that prevent unauthorized actors from reaching and damaging power equipment or cabling. |
