Mitigating Controls

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-327

Contacts with security groups provide timely information on broken or risky cryptographic algorithms, reducing the likelihood of their selection and use.

addresses: CWE-327

Ongoing education and sharing of recommended practices helps organizations identify and migrate away from broken or risky cryptographic algorithms.

addresses: CWE-327

Cross-organization threat feeds commonly include advances in cryptanalysis and active exploits against weak or broken algorithms, allowing organizations to deprecate them proactively.

addresses: CWE-327

Capital planning and funding allow selection and ongoing support of strong cryptographic algorithms rather than weak or broken ones.

addresses: CWE-327

Risk updates surface newly-broken or risky cryptographic algorithms as threat intelligence and computing advances evolve, enabling timely replacement.

addresses: CWE-327

Scanners flag use of broken or weak cryptographic algorithms via known-vulnerability databases.

addresses: CWE-327

Enforces approved cryptographic algorithms for each use case, blocking use of broken or risky algorithms.

addresses: CWE-327

Flaw remediation replaces broken or risky cryptographic algorithms once safer implementations are released by vendors.

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.

blocks

A.5.31 only requires identifying, reviewing and considering legal/regulatory/contractual requirements (including crypto restrictions); it does not itself stop use of a broken algorithm or block its exploitation

blocks

A.5.6 only promotes membership in groups to receive early warnings, advisories, and specialist advice about vulnerabilities (including risky crypto); it does not stop exploitation of an already-present broken algorithm, which requires other controls (e.g. A.8.24) to act.

blocks

A.8.24's policy, algorithm selection, strength/quality rules, approved standards and key management directly stop use of broken/risky algorithms in most cases; the bounded remainder is non-compliant implementations or legacy systems grandfathered under the clause's own regulatory and transition guidance.

Hardening callouts derived

DISA STIG baselines are authored against specific weaknesses. Where this CVE cites a broad weakness class, the mapping is not asserted at that abstraction (owner ruling, 2026-09-25: grade only at Base and below), so no rule is shown here rather than a rule shown against the wrong grain.

  • No fine-grained STIG row for CWE-327, a class-level weakness. Rules are authored against its narrower children: CWE-328, CWE-780, CWE-1240.
