Weaknesses this control addresses (7)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-284 | Improper Access Control | 8,100+ | Tamper protection directly detects and resists unauthorized modifications that improper access control would otherwise permit. |
CWE-732 | Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource | 2,000+ | Provides detection and resistance layers that reduce exploitability of incorrect critical-resource permissions. |
CWE-345 | Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity | 900+ | The control implements verification mechanisms that detect tampering by ensuring data authenticity. |
CWE-494 | Download of Code Without Integrity Check | 200+ | Mandates integrity verification on system components, closing the gap that allows download without checks. |
CWE-354 | Improper Validation of Integrity Check Value | 200+ | Requires proper validation of integrity mechanisms, directly mitigating flawed check-value handling. |
CWE-506 | Embedded Malicious Code | 100+ | Tamper detection mechanisms can identify embedded malicious code inserted via supply-chain or runtime tampering. |
CWE-353 | Missing Support for Integrity Check | 51 | Tamper protection programs explicitly add integrity checks where support was previously missing. |
