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.
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.
Authorization servers centrally manage access rights, preventing improper access control.
Tailoring selects and adjusts the precise set of access-control baselines and compensating controls required for the system, directly reducing improper access control exposure.
