CVE-2023-20235

Policy addresses roles, responsibilities, and privilege management to prevent improper privilege assignments.

Access supervision ensures privileges are assigned and managed without improper escalation or retention.

Assigning group/role memberships and access authorizations (privileges) while reviewing accounts addresses improper privilege management.

Controls on authorized publication limit files and directories with nonpublic data from becoming accessible to external parties.

Enforces proper privilege management by requiring all decisions through the verified reference monitor.

By mandating division of duties across roles, the control enforces proper privilege management and prevents a single entity from controlling an entire sensitive process.

Implements core proper privilege management by restricting to only required rights.

Policy requires training on privilege management and least privilege, making it harder to exploit improper privilege management weaknesses.

Enforcing least-privilege permissions and authorization policies directly prevents unauthorized file/directory exposure.

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

Logical segmentation and access protections stop external parties from reaching files that should remain internal.

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

Defining and communicating authorization levels for each role limits the assignment of excessive or unnecessary privileges.
