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.

CM-1 Policy and Procedures
addresses: CWE-1188

Requires documented secure initialization practices and avoidance of insecure defaults in configuration baselines.

CM-2 Baseline Configuration
addresses: CWE-1188

Reviewing and updating baseline when components are installed or upgraded prevents initialization with insecure defaults.

CM-7 Least Functionality
addresses: CWE-1188

Requiring explicit configuration to minimal functionality overrides insecure defaults that would otherwise enable excess capabilities.

PL-11 Baseline Tailoring
addresses: CWE-1188

Tailoring replaces or augments insecure default initializations with system-specific values and compensating controls before deployment.

PL-9 Central Management
addresses: CWE-1188

Central configuration overrides or replaces insecure default initializations that would otherwise be left unchanged on each system.

PM-30 Supply Chain Risk Management Strategy
addresses: CWE-1188

SCRM practices during acquisition and configuration management address insecure default initializations shipped by vendors.

RA-5 Vulnerability Monitoring and Scanning
addresses: CWE-1188

Scans detect resources initialized with insecure defaults that create exploitable conditions.

SA-16 Developer-provided Training
addresses: CWE-1188

Instruction on secure initialization of security controls prevents leaving resources with insecure defaults after installation.
