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.
Key generation under controlled management uses approved random-bit sources rather than insufficiently random values.
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.
Secure SDLC practices explicitly include vetted RNG and entropy sources, directly preventing this weakness while covering many other development concerns.
Password-strength policies implicitly require sufficient entropy, but the control addresses authentication rather than algorithmic randomness.
Proper encryption for data-at-rest requires sufficient entropy for keys/nonces; eliminating the weakness therefore supports but does not fully realize the control.
Cryptographic protection of data-in-transit depends on adequate entropy; the weakness directly undermines the control's effectiveness.
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 use of cryptography that must rely on sufficient entropy sources.
Security testing can detect insufficient-entropy defects before release.
Secure-SDLC activities include entropy validation during design and testing.
Secure-coding rules can explicitly forbid weak random-number generation.
Requires secure authentication mechanisms that depend on unpredictable secrets.
