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.
Configuration settings can define and enforce strong password requirements to avoid weak policies.
IA policy establishes password requirements, directly addressing weak password requirements.
Ensuring authenticators have sufficient strength of mechanism for intended use addresses weak password requirements.
Organization-wide password and authentication policies are applied uniformly, preventing weak local password requirements.
Facilitated training and awareness of current practices improves definition and enforcement of sufficiently strong password requirements.
Dedicated security resources support deployment of strong authentication systems and enforcement of robust password policies.
Vulnerability scans assess password policies and weak credential requirements against benchmarks.
User documentation on maintaining security includes password requirements, directly mitigating weak password policies.
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.
Explicitly requires enforcing minimum password strength as part of authentication.
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.
Enforcing minimum length, complexity, non-dictionary, and non-reuse rules directly counters weak password policies that allow attackers to guess or brute-force credentials.
