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.

CM-12 Information Location
addresses: CWE-922

Tracking information locations and access supports secure storage practices instead of insecure ones.

CP-6 Alternate Storage Site
addresses: CWE-922

Establishing an alternate site with equivalent protections directly mitigates insecure storage of sensitive backup information.

CP-9 System Backup
addresses: CWE-922

Requiring protection of backup information directly addresses insecure storage of sensitive data in backups.

PM-17 Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information on External Systems
addresses: CWE-922

Policy explicitly addresses insecure storage of CUI on external systems, requiring compliant handling and protections.

RA-2 Security Categorization
addresses: CWE-922

Proper categorization drives selection of storage controls that keep sensitive information from being stored insecurely.

SC-28 Protection of Information at Rest
addresses: CWE-922

The control explicitly requires secure storage mechanisms for sensitive information, closing the insecure-storage weakness class.

SI-23 Information Fragmentation
addresses: CWE-922

Storing information as fragments on distinct components is an architectural control that avoids insecure single-location storage of the complete sensitive data set.

SR-7 Supply Chain Operations Security
addresses: CWE-922

OPSEC requirements improve handling and storage practices for sensitive supply-chain information.

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-05 full match
prevents

Defining and enforcing access permissions on storage directly prevents the weakness.

PR.DS-01 mostly match
prevents

Protecting data-at-rest typically requires access controls or encryption on storage mechanisms.

PR.IR-01 partial match
prevents

Logical access protections on environments can reduce exposure of uncontrolled storage.

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.

A.5.15 Access control mostly match
prevents

Access control policy directly requires protection of sensitive data wherever it is stored.

A.5.18 Access rights mostly match
prevents

Granting and reviewing access rights prevents unauthorized access to sensitive data on storage media.

A.8.3 Information access restriction mostly match
prevents

Information-access-restriction control directly enforces access controls on stored sensitive data.

A.5.12 Classification of information partial match
mitigates

Classification identifies sensitive data that must not be stored without access controls.

A.7.10 Storage media partial match
mitigates

Storage-media controls mandate physical and logical protection of media holding sensitive information.

A.8.10 Information deletion partial match
mitigates

Deletion reduces exposure but does not address the lack of access control on existing storage.
