Weaknesses this control addresses (8)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-502 | Deserialization of Untrusted Data | 3,600+ | Provenance of associated data allows detection of untrusted sources before deserialization or processing occurs. |
CWE-345 | Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity | 800+ | Provenance documentation and monitoring directly enables verification of authenticity for components and data throughout their history. |
CWE-829 | Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere | 300+ | Documenting component provenance ensures functionality is only included from verified, trusted control spheres rather than untrusted ones. |
CWE-494 | Download of Code Without Integrity Check | 200+ | Tracking provenance of components and code necessitates integrity verification, preventing downloads or inclusions without such checks. |
CWE-506 | Embedded Malicious Code | 99 | Valid provenance monitoring makes insertion of embedded malicious code during supply chain or development stages detectable. |
CWE-912 | Hidden Functionality | 87 | Provenance tracking of components reveals hidden functionality introduced via supply chain or build processes. |
CWE-353 | Missing Support for Integrity Check | 44 | Maintaining valid provenance requires supporting integrity checks on the origin and chain of custody for systems and data. |
CWE-1104 | Use of Unmaintained Third Party Components | 26 | Provenance records include supplier and lifecycle details, enabling ongoing monitoring to avoid unmaintained third-party components. |
