CVE-2023-30950

Requiring an access control policy ensures authorization checks are defined and applied for critical functions.

Reviews of access controls detect missing authorization checks on critical functions or resources.

Documenting permitted unauthenticated actions prevents missing authorization by making all exceptions explicit and subject to organizational review.

Requiring attribute association with information prevents authorization from being performed without necessary security or privacy context.

Mandating authorization prior to allowing remote connections addresses missing authorization for remote access.

Mandating authorization before wireless connections are allowed prevents missing authorization for wireless access.

The control requires authorization before allowing mobile device connections, directly mitigating missing authorization for system access.

Requiring approvals for account creation and specifying authorizations ensures authorization is not missing for system access.

Proofing and binding identities reduces spoofing opportunities during enrollment but does not address runtime authentication implementation flaws.

Requiring authentication of users/services/hardware directly counters spoofing-based bypass when strong methods are used.

Protecting, conveying, and verifying identity assertions specifically prevents the spoofing that enables authentication bypass.

A.5.15 only requires that an access control policy and requirements be defined and communicated; it does not itself implement, enforce or configure any authentication scheme that would stop spoofing attacks from bypassing authentication, so the weakness remains fully exploitable.

A.5.16 manages the lifecycle, uniqueness, and accountability of identities; it does not implement or strengthen authentication schemes against spoofing, so the CWE-290 exploit remains possible even when identities are correctly provisioned and tracked.

Authentication information management directly addresses credential handling that prevents spoofing.

A.5.18 governs the provisioning, review, and revocation of already-granted access rights to authenticated identities; it has no bearing on whether an authentication scheme can be spoofed or bypassed before any rights are assigned.
