Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Directly implements checks on information inputs to reject invalid data before processing.
Penetration testing attempts server-side requests to internal resources, identifying SSRF weaknesses for remediation.
Tracking information locations and access supports secure storage practices instead of insecure ones.
Establishing an alternate site with equivalent protections directly mitigates insecure storage of sensitive backup information.
Requiring protection of backup information directly addresses insecure storage of sensitive data in backups.
Security testing and developer training directly verify and enforce proper input validation, reducing exploitability of injection and malformed-data weaknesses.
Policy explicitly addresses insecure storage of CUI on external systems, requiring compliant handling and protections.
Proper categorization drives selection of storage controls that keep sensitive information from being stored insecurely.
