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-304

Ensures the authentication process is followed for non-organizational users, avoiding missing critical steps.

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.

PR.AA-03 mostly match
prevents

Requiring complete authentication (e.g., MFA, password policy) directly stops omission of critical steps in the auth process.

PR.AA-02 partial match
prevents

Proper identity proofing and credential binding prevents skipping enrollment steps that weaken authentication.

Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

degrades

Mandates secure authentication mechanisms, explicitly addressing missing steps in authentication flows.

degrades

Directly requires secure management of authentication credentials and processes, preventing skipped critical steps.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle can catch missing auth steps during design, but does not directly enforce runtime authentication.

prevents

Application security requirements may specify complete auth flows, but the control itself is broader.

prevents

Secure coding practices can prevent missing auth steps, yet the control is not specific to authentication.

mitigates

Limits access based on proper authentication; incomplete auth weakens the restriction.
