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-200 | Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor | 11,000+ | Requiring organization-defined processing conditions on specific PII categories directly reduces the chance that personal data will be exposed to unauthorized actors. |
CWE-532 | Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File | 1,400+ | Specific processing rules for sensitive PII categories commonly include restrictions on logging, making insertion of such data into log files less likely. |
CWE-359 | Exposure of Private Personal Information to an Unauthorized Actor | 200+ | The control mandates tailored handling for designated categories of personally identifiable information, thereby limiting unauthorized disclosure of private personal data. |
