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.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.AA-03 mostly match
prevents

Authentication directly verifies the source of users/services/hardware, mitigating origin validation failures.

PR.AA-04 mostly match
prevents

Verifying identity assertions enforces origin validation for conveyed claims.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require correct adoption of language-provided or library input-validation frameworks.

ID.AM-03 partial match
prevents

Documenting authorized flows supports origin validation by defining expected sources.

PR.IR-01 partial match
prevents

Protecting networks from unauthorized access requires origin checks on communication sources.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can detect missing validation but does not enforce framework adoption.

A.8.20 Networks security partial match
mitigates

Network security controls enforce origin validation at network boundaries.

A.8.21 Security of network services partial match
mitigates

Security of network services includes validating the authenticity of service endpoints.

A.8.22 Segregation of networks partial match
mitigates

Network segregation reduces exposure but does not directly validate origins.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates use of approved validation frameworks and libraries.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for proper input validation mechanisms.
