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-532

Procedures mandate excluding sensitive data from logs to prevent unauthorized exposure via audit records.

addresses: CWE-532

Identifies insertion of sensitive data into logs, allowing detection of unauthorized disclosure.

addresses: CWE-532

Cross-organizational coordination enables agreement on what data to include in audit logs, directly reducing insertion of sensitive information.

addresses: CWE-532

Identifying logging as a data action allows prevention of sensitive information being inserted into log files.

addresses: CWE-532

The process of identifying and eradicating spilled information applies directly to sensitive data inserted into log files.

addresses: CWE-532

Specific processing rules for sensitive PII categories commonly include restrictions on logging, making insertion of such data into log files less likely.

addresses: CWE-532

PIAs detect planned or existing logging of PII and require removal or protection, preventing insertion of sensitive information into logs.

addresses: CWE-532

Limits insertion of sensitive operational details into logs by treating such data as key information requiring protection.
