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.
Ongoing reviews detect and remove sensitive system information before it reaches publicly accessible systems.
Employs detection to prevent unauthorized mining of sensitive system information from being exfiltrated to external control spheres.
Documenting where system information is processed and stored prevents exposure to unauthorized control spheres.
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.
Restricts information flows to ensure resources are not exposed to incorrect or unauthorized spheres.
Controlling internal connections prevents exposure of resources to unintended internal spheres.
The control prevents exposure of the media resource to the wrong security sphere.
