CVE-2023-6009

Designation of a manager and policy dissemination ensures privileges are assigned according to defined roles.

Regular reviews catch incorrect privilege assignments to users, roles, or processes.

Explicitly specifying privileges and group/role memberships for accounts reduces the risk of incorrect privilege assignments.

The control requires explicit definition of separated access authorizations, making incorrect privilege assignments that bundle conflicting duties harder to implement.

Ensures privileges are assigned only as necessary rather than incorrectly over-granted.

Directly enforces least-privilege policy definition, management, and review that prevents incorrect privilege assignments.

A.5.15 directly requires determining access needs, defining/enforcing topic-specific access control policy and rules (including need-to-know, privilege restrictions, segregation, formal authorization, role-based mapping, and consistency with classification), which stops most incorrect privilege assignments from being exploitable; the bounded remainder is incorrect assignments that arise from flawed implementation of those rules rather than from their absence.

A.5.18's provisioning, review, revocation and SoD rules (esp. a,b,c,f,i,j) directly stop most incorrect privilege assignments from being granted or persisting, with a bounded remainder in flawed implementation of the authorization step itself (see 5.9/5.15 dependency)
