Mitigating Controls

Likely Mitigating Controls AI

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.

AC-9 Previous Logon Notification
addresses: CWE-294

Allows detection of capture-replay attacks by showing the replayed logon's timestamp as the last logon.

SC-23 Session Authenticity
addresses: CWE-294

Protects against replay of captured session tokens or credentials by requiring authenticated, fresh session channels.

SC-40 Wireless Link Protection
addresses: CWE-294

Wireless link protections commonly incorporate replay protection, reducing the exploitability of capture-replay weaknesses.

SC-45 System Time Synchronization
addresses: CWE-294

Accurate synchronized time enables tight timestamp windows that directly limit capture-replay windows in authentication protocols.
