CVE-2023-25817

Forces removal or modification of permissions no longer required after reassignment, preventing improper preservation of old access rights.

Procedures support proper permission assignment for critical resources through documented controls.

Attribute management for resources provides a mechanism to assign and maintain correct permissions based on security labels.

Prevents overly permissive assignments to critical resources by limiting to task needs.

Training policy covers correct permission assignment, reducing the ability to exploit incorrect permission assignments for critical resources.

Training on permission management reduces incorrect permission assignments for critical resources.

Audit logs and logging tools are critical resources whose protection requires correct permission assignments to block unauthorized actions.

Assessments review permission assignments on critical resources to confirm correctness, mitigating exploitation via incorrect permissions.

Enforcing least-privilege permission policies and reviews directly prevents incorrect permission propagation on copy/restore/share operations.

A.5.1 only requires the existence of an overarching policy and topic-specific policies (including on access control); it does not itself enforce, implement, or act on permissions and therefore cannot stop CWE-732 from being exploitable.

A.5.12 only defines and communicates a classification scheme (with owners accountable for applying it); it does not itself enforce, restrict or decide any permissions, so the CWE-732 permission flaw can still be present and exploitable.
