CVE-2023-20266

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.

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.

Training covers proper privilege management practices, making incorrect privilege assignments less likely.

Requires assessing authenticity and integrity of acquired assets, which commonly relies on signature verification but is limited to pre-acquisition.

Digital signatures are explicitly cited to protect integrity of data-at-rest, so proper verification directly mitigates the weakness.

Digital signatures are explicitly cited to protect integrity of data-in-transit, so proper verification directly mitigates the weakness.

Secure SDLC practices include code signing and signature verification requirements, addressing the weakness during development.

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