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.
Protection of passwords and credentials at rest forces encryption or equivalent controls instead of plaintext storage.
Training instructs users on protecting credentials from disclosure or unauthorized access.
Training records for security awareness and role-based training verify education on credential protection practices, tangibly reducing risks from mishandling or exposing credentials.
Protecting authenticator content from unauthorized disclosure and modification while requiring protective controls addresses insufficiently protected credentials.
Rules of behavior include credential protection and non-sharing requirements, reducing exposure of insufficiently protected credentials.
Terminating or revoking credentials stops use of insufficiently protected or lingering credentials post-termination.
Credentials or keys delivered out-of-band are not exposed to interception or inadequate protection on the main transport.
