CVE-2023-23040

Contacts with security groups provide timely information on broken or risky cryptographic algorithms, reducing the likelihood of their selection and use.

Ongoing education and sharing of recommended practices helps organizations identify and migrate away from broken or risky cryptographic algorithms.

Cross-organization threat feeds commonly include advances in cryptanalysis and active exploits against weak or broken algorithms, allowing organizations to deprecate them proactively.

Capital planning and funding allow selection and ongoing support of strong cryptographic algorithms rather than weak or broken ones.

Risk updates surface newly-broken or risky cryptographic algorithms as threat intelligence and computing advances evolve, enabling timely replacement.

Scanners flag use of broken or weak cryptographic algorithms via known-vulnerability databases.

Enforces approved cryptographic algorithms for each use case, blocking use of broken or risky algorithms.

Flaw remediation replaces broken or risky cryptographic algorithms once safer implementations are released by vendors.

PR.DS-01 promotes encryption for data-at-rest but never requires strong algorithms, leaving CWE-327 fully possible; the weakness is also far broader than data-at-rest so one narrow control removes none of its total risk.

The explicit call-out of cryptography-related legal constraints (import/export, key escrow, digital-signature validity) reduces the likelihood that an organization will adopt broken or non-compliant cryptographic algorithms that violate those rules.

Access to current specialist guidance and early vulnerability alerts enables timely replacement of broken or risky cryptographic algorithms with stronger alternatives.
