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.
Training on secure data handling discourages cleartext storage of sensitive information.
Documenting where system information is processed and stored prevents exposure to unauthorized control spheres.
Data action mapping can detect storage actions that leave sensitive information in cleartext.
Configuration policies can mandate secure storage methods to avoid cleartext storage of sensitive information.
Policy requires protection measures such as encryption for sensitive data stored on media, preventing cleartext exposure.
The control stops sensitive system information from crossing into unauthorized control spheres through EM emanations.
