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-668

Controls whether organization resources are exposed to external system spheres by permitting or prohibiting their use.

addresses: CWE-668

The control ensures information is not released into a security sphere where the recipient lacks matching access authorizations.

addresses: CWE-668

The control ensures information resources are not exposed to the incorrect (public) sphere through review and authorization.

addresses: CWE-668

Protects against data mining that would expose resources to unauthorized spheres by enforcing detection and controls.

addresses: CWE-668

Restricts information flows to ensure resources are not exposed to incorrect or unauthorized spheres.

addresses: CWE-668

Controlling internal connections prevents exposure of resources to unintended internal spheres.

addresses: CWE-668

Knowing exact processing and storage locations helps avoid exposure of resources to incorrect spheres.

addresses: CWE-668

The control prevents exposure of the media resource to the wrong security sphere.

PR.PS-06 partial match

Secure SDLC practices directly prohibit implicit intents for sensitive data while this single CWE addresses only one narrow coding rule.

degrades

DLP policies and technical controls directly prevent sensitive data from leaving via insecure implicit intents.

degrades

Network security rules can restrict inter-app communication channels that implicit intents rely on.

blocks

A.8.26 only requires that security requirements (including resilience against injections or input controls) be identified and specified during development; it does not itself enforce, implement or configure any mechanism that stops an implicit Intent from being used or exploited for sensitive data.

blocks

A.8.27 mandates establishing and applying secure engineering principles (including least privilege, security by design, distrust external input, and hardening) during the SDLC; while these principles could guide developers away from implicit intents, the control itself does not stop the resulting weakness from remaining present and exploitable in an already-built Android app.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid implicit intents when handling sensitive information.

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-668, a class-level weakness. Rules are authored against its narrower children: CWE-427, CWE-552.
