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-319Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information1,100+The control explicitly requires confidentiality protection for transmitted information, preventing cleartext exposure of sensitive data.
CWE-614Sensitive Cookie in HTTPS Session Without 'Secure' Attribute67Enforcing confidentiality on transmitted sensitive cookies requires the Secure attribute, preventing exposure on insecure channels.
CWE-300Channel Accessible by Non-Endpoint60Confidentiality and integrity protections on the transmission channel directly reduce the ability of non-endpoint actors to access or tamper with the data.
CWE-924Improper Enforcement of Message Integrity During Transmission in a Communication Channel45The control directly mandates integrity protection for transmitted information, addressing failures to enforce message integrity in transit.
CWE-523Unprotected Transport of Credentials26Requiring protected transport for credentials directly mitigates unprotected credential transmission over networks.
