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-693 | Protection Mechanism Failure | 700+ | Mandates documented allocation of resources to protection requirements, reducing the likelihood that protection mechanisms are underfunded, omitted, or inadequately maintained. |
CWE-1104 | Use of Unmaintained Third Party Components | 26 | Dedicated security line items in budgets enable ongoing maintenance, patching, and replacement of third-party components that would otherwise be left unmaintained due to lack of allocated resources. |
CWE-657 | Violation of Secure Design Principles | 20 | Explicitly requires security/privacy to be incorporated into mission/business process planning and capital budgeting, directly countering violations of secure design principles that occur when security is treated as an afterthought. |
