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.
Detects error messages that leak sensitive information as evidence of disclosure.
The control directly mitigates generation of error messages containing sensitive authentication details by requiring obscured feedback instead of verbose responses.
Misdirection allows generation of misleading error messages that withhold or falsify sensitive details.
Explicitly requires error messages to avoid including sensitive or exploitable details while still supporting corrective action.
Validation ensures error messages contain only expected, non-sensitive content and blocks leakage via verbose errors.
Fail-safe procedures can be defined to suppress or sanitize error output, reducing generation of messages that contain sensitive information.

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid exposing sensitive data in errors.
Security testing can detect error messages that leak sensitive information.
Logging policy can require suppression of sensitive data in error messages.
Secure SDLC mandates error-handling rules that avoid leaking sensitive information.
Application security requirements can specify safe error messaging.
Secure architecture principles include proper exception handling.
