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.

IA-9 Service Identification and Authentication
addresses: CWE-346

Requires unique identification of the service before communications, addressing failures to validate the origin of the interaction.

SC-11 Trusted Path
addresses: CWE-346

Trusted path establishment enforces validation that the communication originates from and reaches only the intended trusted system components.

SC-20 Secure Name/Address Resolution Service (Authoritative Source)
addresses: CWE-346

Enforces validation of the true origin of DNS responses via signatures and chain-of-trust mechanisms.

SC-21 Secure Name/Address Resolution Service (Recursive or Caching Resolver)
addresses: CWE-346

Enforces origin validation of name/address data, eliminating reliance on unverified or impersonated DNS sources.

SC-23 Session Authenticity
addresses: CWE-346

Mandates origin validation so that only legitimate endpoints can continue the authenticated session.

Hardening callouts derived

DISA STIG baselines are authored against specific weaknesses. Where this CVE cites a broad weakness class, the mapping is not asserted at that abstraction (owner ruling, 2026-09-25: grade only at Base and below), so no rule is shown here rather than a rule shown against the wrong grain.

  • No fine-grained STIG row for CWE-346, a class-level weakness, and none of its children carries one either.
