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-276

Access control policy can specify and enforce secure default permissions for resources.

addresses: CWE-276

Guides setting of default permissions to the minimum required level.

addresses: CWE-117

Policy and procedures require sanitization and neutralization when generating audit logs to avoid injection issues.

addresses: CWE-276

Establishes requirements for appropriate default permissions on system resources as part of configuration management.

addresses: CWE-276

Baseline establishment and updates on install/upgrade ensure correct default permissions rather than insecure ones.

addresses: CWE-276

Requiring the most restrictive settings instead of defaults prevents incorrect default permissions on resources.

addresses: CWE-276

Requires documented processes that include setting and maintaining correct default permissions for configuration items.

addresses: CWE-276

Requires addressing secure default permissions in physical and environmental protection controls.

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.PS-01 full match
prevents

Hardened baselines and configuration management explicitly require correct default file permissions.

PR.AA-05 mostly match
prevents

Defining and enforcing least-privilege access permissions directly prevents overly permissive defaults at install time.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices and coding standards directly require output sanitization for logs.

ID.AM-08 partial match
prevents

Lifecycle management can encompass permission settings, yet the control is too broad to specifically mitigate incorrect defaults.

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.

detects

Security testing can detect log injection flaws but does not prevent them at the source.

prevents

Standard templates that restrict access to utility programs and host parameter settings prevent the assignment of overly permissive default permissions on critical resources.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
degrades

Logging control directly requires proper log generation and handling, which mitigates improper output neutralization.

detects

Monitoring activities rely on trustworthy logs but do not ensure log message integrity.

prevents

Secure SDLC includes coding standards that reduce log-related weaknesses but does not specifically address logging.

prevents

Secure coding practices mandate input validation and output encoding, directly preventing log injection.
