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

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.
Mandates secure authentication mechanisms, explicitly addressing missing steps in authentication flows.
Directly requires secure management of authentication credentials and processes, preventing skipped critical steps.
Secure development lifecycle can catch missing auth steps during design, but does not directly enforce runtime authentication.
Application security requirements may specify complete auth flows, but the control itself is broader.
Secure coding practices can prevent missing auth steps, yet the control is not specific to authentication.
Limits access based on proper authentication; incomplete auth weakens the restriction.
