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.
Data action mapping can detect storage actions that leave sensitive information in cleartext.
Reduces cleartext storage of sensitive data when OPSEC identifies and mandates protection of key information artifacts.
Training on secure data handling discourages cleartext storage of sensitive information.
Procedures mandate excluding sensitive data from logs to prevent unauthorized exposure via audit records.
Identifies insertion of sensitive data into logs, allowing detection of unauthorized disclosure.
Cross-organizational coordination enables agreement on what data to include in audit logs, directly reducing insertion of sensitive information.
Configuration policies can mandate secure storage methods to avoid cleartext storage of sensitive information.
The process of identifying and eradicating spilled information applies directly to sensitive data inserted into log files.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
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.
Encryption and cryptographic controls for data-at-rest directly prevent cleartext storage of sensitive information.
Log generation configuration can and should exclude sensitive data, but the control statement focuses on availability rather than content filtering.
Secure SDLC practices directly prohibit writing sensitive data to logs; eliminating the weakness satisfies only one narrow slice of the control.
