Weaknesses this control addresses (6)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+ | Inventory identifies all systems holding or processing data, enabling detection of unauthorized exposure paths before exploitation. |
CWE-862 | Missing Authorization | 10,200+ | An authoritative inventory ensures no organizational system is omitted from authorization enforcement checks. |
CWE-284 | Improper Access Control | 6,900+ | Complete system listing is a prerequisite for applying and verifying access controls across the entire organizational boundary. |
CWE-306 | Missing Authentication for Critical Function | 3,300+ | Knowing every system allows confirmation that critical functions are not left without required authentication mechanisms. |
CWE-668 | Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere | 800+ | Asset tracking reveals resources that have inadvertently entered an unintended security sphere, permitting corrective isolation. |
CWE-552 | Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties | 500+ | Enumerating systems surfaces externally reachable resources that would otherwise remain unmonitored and accessible. |
