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.
Session content review can reveal authentication bypasses or failures in session establishment.
Assessments check authentication mechanisms for correct implementation and effectiveness, reducing successful authentication bypass attempts.
Identity providers centralize and enforce authentication mechanisms, reducing improper authentication.
Requires explicit authorization before any identifier can be assigned, preventing missing authorization.
Personnel screening, identity verification, and access-agreement requirements support reliable authentication and reduce authentication bypass opportunities.
Requiring explicit security roles and risk integration in the SDLC forces authentication mechanisms to be planned, documented, and validated instead of omitted or weakly implemented.
Decoy authentication surfaces detect bypass attempts and deflect real credential attacks through observable malicious interactions.
Requiring an access control policy ensures authorization checks are defined and applied for critical functions.
