CVE-2023-5808

Role-based training addresses authorization requirements and checks, lowering the risk of improper authorization.

Auditing session actions allows identification of improper authorization decisions and enforcement failures.

Audit analysis reports findings of improper authorization, reducing the impact of such weaknesses.

Documenting authorization requirements and responsibilities for each exchange ensures authorization decisions are explicitly defined and managed.

Reconstitution restores proper authorization policies and enforcement that may have been altered.

Supplies backup authorization methods to block unauthorized actions when the primary authorization process is unavailable or compromised.

Identity providers centralize and enforce authentication mechanisms, reducing improper authentication.

Mandates authorization for identifier assignment, reducing risks of improper authorization.

PR.AA-01 supplies managed identities and access-request workflows that can support downstream authorization decisions, yet does nothing to enforce or verify authorization checks inside a product, leaving CWE-285 fully unaddressed by this control alone.

PR.AA-02 ensures valid enrollment and unique credential binding, which reduces some improper-auth risks at issuance time but leaves runtime claim verification untouched, so each direction only partially addresses the other.

By requiring documented authorization rules and periodic policy reviews, the control makes it less likely that authorization decisions will be omitted or implemented inconsistently across applications.

Mapping access rights to information classification and business requirements forces correct enforcement of authorization decisions, blocking the incorrect authorization weakness at the policy and implementation stage.

Mandating segregated approval and oversight for non-human identities reduces the chance that weak or orphaned credentials can be exploited for unauthorized authentication.
