CVE-2023-20184

Authorization checks via training and content reviews ensure only approved information is released to public systems.

Documenting access to processing and storage locations helps ensure correct authorization for information resources.

Requiring explicit approval for maintenance activities and component removal enforces proper authorization for critical system operations.

Procedures enforce authorization rules for media handling, making unauthorized actions harder to perform without detection.

Limiting media access to authorized parties addresses improper authorization for resource access.

The control requires authorization mechanisms and senior approval to prevent unauthorized viewing or alteration of the plan.

Mandates authorization checks so public access cannot perform disallowed operations or modifications.

Decoys identify and block exploitation of improper authorization by providing monitored targets that mimic protected functions.

PR.AA-01 supplies managed identities and access-request workflows that can support downstream authorization decisions, yet does nothing to enforce or verify authorization checks inside a product, leaving CWE-285 fully unaddressed by this control alone.

Data-at-rest protections such as encryption or ACLs reduce the impact of unintended file exposure.

Hardened configuration baselines commonly include file-system permission settings that limit external access.

By requiring documented authorization rules and periodic policy reviews, the control makes it less likely that authorization decisions will be omitted or implemented inconsistently across applications.

By tracing and retrieving all copies of information stored on endpoint and portable devices, the control reduces the likelihood that files remain accessible outside the organization’s security perimeter.

Labeling information according to its sensitivity and specifying corresponding protection measures makes it less probable that files or directories containing sensitive content will be left accessible to external parties.

Mapping access rights to information classification and business requirements forces correct enforcement of authorization decisions, blocking the incorrect authorization weakness at the policy and implementation stage.

Independent reviewers evaluate whether authorization logic matches policy, thereby reducing the window in which incorrect or missing authorization checks remain in production.
