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-327 | Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm | 700+ | Ongoing education and sharing of recommended practices helps organizations identify and migrate away from broken or risky cryptographic algorithms. |
CWE-326 | Inadequate Encryption Strength | 500+ | Maintaining currency with technologies and practices reduces selection of encryption mechanisms that provide inadequate strength. |
CWE-521 | Weak Password Requirements | 300+ | Facilitated training and awareness of current practices improves definition and enforcement of sufficiently strong password requirements. |
CWE-1104 | Use of Unmaintained Third Party Components | 26 | Contact with security communities directly informs personnel of unmaintained components and their vulnerabilities, reducing the likelihood of their continued use. |
CWE-477 | Use of Obsolete Function | 16 | Institutionalized information sharing keeps developers aware of obsolete functions and the need to replace them with supported alternatives. |
