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.
Device lock enforces restricted access until re-authentication, directly reducing unauthorized use of active sessions.
Explicitly identifying and documenting actions permitted without identification or authentication enforces proper access control boundaries by defining justified exceptions.
Requiring authorization and configuration controls for mobile device connections directly enforces access control and prevents unauthorized devices from reaching organizational systems.
Provides a tamperproof, always-invoked, and verifiable mechanism to enforce access control policies.
Provides capability to review session content, directly detecting violations of access control.
Control assessments verify that access controls are implemented correctly and operating as intended, detecting improper access control before exploitation.
Certification requires independent assessment confirming access controls are implemented correctly and effective.
Restricting available functions and services reduces the attack surface and enforces proper access control boundaries.
