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-425

Forcing a decision on every access request, including direct ones, reduces the exploitability of forced browsing by ensuring no unchecked access paths.

addresses: CWE-425

Forces all accesses through the reference monitor, preventing direct or forced requests that bypass checks.

addresses: CWE-425

Enforcing access for all logical requests prevents unauthorized direct access to protected resources.

addresses: CWE-425

Displaying the notification before further access on public systems prevents direct resource requests from bypassing the required system use terms and consent.

addresses: CWE-425

Decoy endpoints catch forced browsing and direct requests, deflecting attackers from legitimate resources while enabling analysis.

addresses: CWE-425

Blocks unauthorized direct requests or forced browsing by denying input access to non-authorized actors.

PR.AA-05 partial match
blocks

Directly requires policy-driven definition, enforcement, and review of authorizations on resources such as URLs.

PR.IR-01 partial match

Protects environments from unauthorized logical access, which includes preventing direct requests to restricted paths.

removes
blocks

A.5.15 directly requires defining/implementing access control rules, authorization, need-to-know, and restrictions that enforce appropriate access on all URLs/resources, which stops forced browsing exploitation even if the flaw remains; remainder is bounded to non-authorization cases like path traversal or CSRF (per AC-3 anchor).
