CVE-2023-46125

Defining permitted attribute values and auditing modifications reduces the chance of incorrect authorization outcomes due to tampered or missing labels.

Ensures authorization decisions for external system use are correctly implemented and enforced.

It assists users in evaluating and applying correct authorization decisions when sharing information with external partners.

Session auditing enables detection of unauthorized exposure or access to sensitive information during user activities.

Drives review and correction of flawed authorization logic applied to organizational data.

Annual reviews and proposal scrutiny detect and block matching programs that would expose sensitive data to unauthorized recipients or systems.

Restricts processing strictly to documented authorized uses, mitigating incorrect authorization decisions for sensitive data.

Addresses incorrect authorization by requiring independent verification of results and an opportunity to contest before any adverse action is taken.

A.5.10 only requires awareness, a topic-specific acceptable-use policy stating expected behaviours/monitoring, and procedures referencing classification and other controls; per the owner's explicit rule on labelling and similar dependency-style clauses, this does not itself prevent exposure (CWE-200) unless access/DLP/etc. act on it.

Requiring the return of all physical and electronic assets plus secure deletion of organizational data from personal devices reduces the chance that sensitive information remains accessible to departing personnel.

A.5.12 only defines and communicates a classification scheme so that protection needs can be understood; per the owner's explicit rule, labeling/classification does not itself prevent exposure and requires other controls (e.g. access enforcement) to act on it.

By requiring classification labels and metadata on all information assets, the control makes it harder for sensitive data to be inadvertently exposed because downstream systems and users can recognize and enforce handling rules based on those labels.

Requiring encryption, access controls, and recipient authentication for transfers directly reduces the chance that sensitive data reaches an unauthorized observer.

Requiring consistency between access rights and classification plus formal approval steps ensures that the authorization logic correctly distinguishes between entities that should and should not be granted access.
