Mitigating Controls

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.

addresses: CWE-347

Requires verification of digital signatures using organization-approved certificates before installation, directly preventing improper verification of cryptographic signatures.

addresses: CWE-347

Component authenticity commonly depends on cryptographic signatures; the control enforces proper verification of those signatures.

addresses: CWE-347

PKI certificates under an approved policy require cryptographic signature verification on issuance and validation.

addresses: CWE-347

Requires cryptographic signatures on authoritative data and support for verifying the chain of trust.

addresses: CWE-347

Mandates verification of cryptographic signatures (e.g., DNSSEC RRSIG) on resolution responses, addressing missing or bypassed signature checks.

addresses: CWE-347

Integrity tools commonly rely on cryptographic signatures whose improper validation this weakness covers.

addresses: CWE-347

Authenticity validation commonly relies on cryptographic signature or certificate checks that this control enforces.
