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.
Terminating and reviewing connections manages privileges associated with internal interfaces.
The control enforces proper privilege boundaries by ensuring user functionality cannot invoke or manage system-level privileges.
Separate execution domains enforce privilege boundaries so that improper privilege management within one process cannot affect others.
Policy addresses roles, responsibilities, and privilege management to prevent improper privilege assignments.
Access supervision ensures privileges are assigned and managed without improper escalation or retention.
Assigning group/role memberships and access authorizations (privileges) while reviewing accounts addresses improper privilege management.
Controls whether organization resources are exposed to external system spheres by permitting or prohibiting their use.
The control ensures information is not released into a security sphere where the recipient lacks matching access authorizations.
