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.

addresses: CWE-311

Privacy and security training stresses encryption of sensitive data, reducing missing encryption weaknesses.

addresses: CWE-311

Exchange agreements must document security requirements, which would include encryption to protect sensitive data in transit.

addresses: CWE-311

The map highlights data actions that involve sensitive data, enabling identification of missing encryption requirements.

addresses: CWE-311

Settings can require encryption of sensitive data, preventing missing encryption weaknesses.

addresses: CWE-311

Architectures must describe confidentiality protections, which includes mandating encryption for sensitive data in transit and at rest.

addresses: CWE-311

Privacy and security curricula stress encryption requirements, reducing missing encryption of sensitive data.

addresses: CWE-311

Requires encryption and similar controls for CUI processed or stored externally, preventing missing encryption of sensitive data.

addresses: CWE-311

Monitoring detects missing encryption of sensitive data in storage or transit configurations.

PR.DS-01 mostly match
prevents

PR.DS-01 directly mandates encryption for data-at-rest and therefore prevents CWE-311 mostly for storage, yet the weakness also spans transmission and other contexts that this single at-rest control leaves unaddressed.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly prevent design flaws that place server security enforcement on the client.

PR.AA-05 partial match
prevents

Proper policy-based enforcement of authorizations implies server-side controls rather than client-only checks.

PR.DS-02 partial match
prevents

PR.DS-02 directly eliminates the transmission facet of CWE-311 via mandatory encryption but leaves the storage facet untouched, so each direction rates only partial.

prevents

Secure architecture principles discourage client-side trust but do not directly address this weakness.

finds

Security testing can detect client-side enforcement but is not the primary mitigation.

prevents

Information access restriction is undermined when the client is trusted to enforce it.

prevents

Explicit rules requiring encryption for sensitive information in transit eliminate the weakness of sending data without cryptographic protection.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates server-side validation and prevents reliance on client enforcement.

prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for server-side enforcement of security mechanisms.
