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.

AC-9 Previous Logon Notification
addresses: CWE-1390

Helps detect exploitation of weak authentication mechanisms by notifying of previous unauthorized logons.

IA-1 Policy and Procedures
addresses: CWE-1390

The IA policy requires strong authentication methods, reducing use of weak authentication.

IA-10 Adaptive Authentication
addresses: CWE-1390

Enforces dynamic, context-aware authentication that mitigates weak static authentication by increasing requirements based on risk or conditions.

IA-2 Identification and Authentication (Organizational Users)
addresses: CWE-1390

Enforces authentication for users, reducing the viability of weak authentication mechanisms.

IA-7 Cryptographic Module Authentication
addresses: CWE-1390

Requires authentication mechanisms to meet applicable standards and guidelines, preventing weak authentication.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.AA-03 full match
prevents

Explicitly requires authentication of users/services/hardware with MFA and password-strength controls.

PR.AA-02 mostly match
prevents

Identity proofing and binding is a core prerequisite for non-weak authentication.

PR.AA-01 partial match
prevents

Credential management directly supports stronger authentication but does not guarantee proof of identity.

Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

A.8.5 Secure authentication full match
prevents

Mandating multi-factor and non-password authentication techniques counters the use of inherently weak single-factor or password-only authentication mechanisms.

A.5.17 Authentication information partial match
prevents

Strong-password and non-reuse requirements raise the bar against weak single-factor authentication that can be exploited via guessing or credential stuffing.
