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.
Proper validation of integrity check values is required for reliable tamper detection, directly reducing undetected modification risks.
Requires validation of integrity check values on every resolution response, directly mitigating tampered or corrupted DNS data.
Control mandates proper validation of integrity values (checksums) on prepared data, making flawed validation of those checks ineffective for attackers.
Requires use of proper integrity verification tools, reducing the chance an incorrect check value is accepted.
Requires proper validation of integrity mechanisms, directly mitigating flawed check-value handling.
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.
Requires cryptographic hashes and signatures that directly enforce integrity-check validation for data at rest.
Requires cryptographic hashes and signatures that directly enforce integrity-check validation for data in transit.
Mandates pre-acquisition integrity assessment, addressing only the initial portion of the weakness lifecycle.
Requires verification of backup integrity, covering validation only within recovery scenarios.
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.
Cryptographic controls mandate integrity mechanisms whose correct validation directly prevents CWE-354.
Secure coding standards require proper implementation and validation of checksums or MACs.
Security testing can detect missing integrity validation but does not itself implement the control.
Application security requirements include integrity checks on messages and data, mitigating improper validation.
Network security policies may require integrity protection on transit data, indirectly addressing the weakness.
