CVE-2023-29066

Policy addresses roles, responsibilities, and privilege management to prevent improper privilege assignments.

Access supervision ensures privileges are assigned and managed without improper escalation or retention.

Assigning group/role memberships and access authorizations (privileges) while reviewing accounts addresses improper privilege management.

The control requires explicit definition of separated access authorizations, making incorrect privilege assignments that bundle conflicting duties harder to implement.

Implements core proper privilege management by restricting to only required rights.

Enforces proper privilege management by requiring all decisions through the verified reference monitor.

Policy requires training on privilege management and least privilege, making it harder to exploit improper privilege management weaknesses.

Training covers proper privilege management practices, making incorrect privilege assignments less likely.

Directly enforces least-privilege policy definition, management, and review that prevents incorrect privilege assignments.

A.5.15 directly requires determining access needs, defining/enforcing topic-specific access control policy and rules (including need-to-know, privilege restrictions, segregation, formal authorization, role-based mapping, and consistency with classification), which stops most incorrect privilege assignments from being exploitable; the bounded remainder is incorrect assignments that arise from flawed implementation of those rules rather than from their absence.

A.5.18's provisioning, review, revocation and SoD rules (esp. a,b,c,f,i,j) directly stop most incorrect privilege assignments from being granted or persisting, with a bounded remainder in flawed implementation of the authorization step itself (see 5.9/5.15 dependency)

Defining and communicating authorization levels for each role limits the assignment of excessive or unnecessary privileges.
