Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Security attributes explicitly include ownership, so proper attribute association and management stops incorrect ownership assignment.
Access enforcement requires correct ownership verification before granting access to objects or resources.
Access decisions must be based on accurate ownership data for each request.
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.
Access control policies can enforce correct ownership assignment and verification for objects.
Identity management processes help ensure objects are assigned to the correct, verified owners.
Managing access rights includes verifying and maintaining proper ownership of resources.
Privileged access rights management requires accurate ownership to prevent unauthorized privilege escalation.
Information access restriction mechanisms rely on correct ownership to enforce access decisions.
Access to source code control depends on proper ownership assignment to protect intellectual property.
Hardening callouts derived
DISA STIG baselines are authored against specific weaknesses. Where this CVE cites a broad weakness class, the mapping is not asserted at that abstraction (owner ruling, 2026-09-25: grade only at Base and below), so no rule is shown here rather than a rule shown against the wrong grain.
