CVE-2023-26580

Requires verification of individual access authorizations before granting facility entry, addressing missing authentication for critical physical access.

Knowing every system allows confirmation that critical functions are not left without required authentication mechanisms.

Requires authentication gates on critical functions that must remain unavailable to anonymous public users.

Decoy implementations of critical functions without authentication lure and record attackers probing for missing auth checks.

Requires established identification and authentication to unlock, mitigating missing authentication for continued system access.

Requiring identification and rationale for actions allowed without authentication ensures critical functions are not left unprotected by forcing review of authentication requirements.

Authorizing mobile device connections to organizational systems ensures authentication is performed for this critical access function.

Controls on authorized publication limit files and directories with nonpublic data from becoming accessible to external parties.

Managing identities and credentials is a prerequisite for authentication but does not itself enforce it on critical functions.

Directly requires authentication of users/services/hardware, which eliminates missing authentication for critical functions.

Defining and enforcing authorizations assumes prior authentication and therefore only partially mitigates the absence of authentication.

Data-at-rest protections such as encryption or ACLs reduce the impact of unintended file exposure.

Protecting networks from unauthorized access can be undermined by missing authentication but does not address the root authentication gap.

Hardened configuration baselines commonly include file-system permission settings that limit external access.

Mandating authentication requirements for critical functions at the requirements-gathering stage ensures that essential operations are not left unprotected by missing login or verification mechanisms.
