CVE-2021-37976

Requiring an access control policy ensures authorization checks are defined and applied for critical functions.

Reviews of access controls detect missing authorization checks on critical functions or resources.

Documenting permitted unauthenticated actions prevents missing authorization by making all exceptions explicit and subject to organizational review.

Requiring attribute association with information prevents authorization from being performed without necessary security or privacy context.

Mandating authorization prior to allowing remote connections addresses missing authorization for remote access.

Mandating authorization before wireless connections are allowed prevents missing authorization for wireless access.

The control requires authorization before allowing mobile device connections, directly mitigating missing authorization for system access.

Requiring approvals for account creation and specifying authorizations ensures authorization is not missing for system access.

Requiring formal authorization of every access request before rights are granted ensures that checks for required permissions are performed, preventing missing authorization checks from being introduced.

Mandatory authorization checks and central records of granted rights ensure that every access attempt is preceded by an explicit decision rather than relying on missing checks.

Segregating the approval of access rights from their implementation provides an independent check that reduces the impact of missing authorization checks in the resulting system configuration.

By requiring competent outsiders to verify that every function enforces the need-to-know principle, the control lowers the likelihood that missing authorization checks persist undetected.

Defining authorization responsibilities and reviewing risk-treatment progress throughout the project lifecycle catches missing authorization checks before the system is deployed.
