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-200 | Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor | 11,000+ | Requiring protection of the program plan from unauthorized disclosure directly reduces exposure of sensitive security program details and control descriptions. |
CWE-284 | Improper Access Control | 6,900+ | Mandating protection of the plan from unauthorized access and modification enforces access control on this organization-wide security governance artifact. |
CWE-732 | Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource | 1,900+ | Treating the plan as a critical resource and requiring it to be protected from unauthorized modification or disclosure drives correct permission assignment. |
CWE-285 | Improper Authorization | 1,500+ | The control requires authorization mechanisms and senior approval to prevent unauthorized viewing or alteration of the plan. |
CWE-552 | Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties | 500+ | Explicit protection requirements make it harder for the plan document to remain accessible to external parties or unauthorized spheres. |
