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.
Directly requires independent verification of matching output before adverse decisions, mitigating insufficient authenticity checks on data from external sources.
Use of approved PKI certificates provides verifiable data authenticity and origin for communications and artifacts.
Mandates provision of authenticity and integrity artifacts that enable verification of name/address resolution data.
Requires explicit verification of data authenticity from authoritative sources, preventing acceptance of unauthenticated resolution responses.
Control requires verification of data authenticity/integrity (e.g., checksums) after aggregation/packing, directly reducing exploitation of insufficient verification before transmission.
Time synchronization supports reliable freshness verification when checking data authenticity across systems or components.
Mandates verification of data authenticity for software, firmware, and information.
Provenance documentation and monitoring directly enables verification of authenticity for components and data throughout their history.
