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.
Requires documented secure initialization practices and avoidance of insecure defaults in configuration baselines.
Reviewing and updating baseline when components are installed or upgraded prevents initialization with insecure defaults.
Requiring explicit configuration to minimal functionality overrides insecure defaults that would otherwise enable excess capabilities.
Tailoring replaces or augments insecure default initializations with system-specific values and compensating controls before deployment.
Central configuration overrides or replaces insecure default initializations that would otherwise be left unchanged on each system.
SCRM practices during acquisition and configuration management address insecure default initializations shipped by vendors.
Scans detect resources initialized with insecure defaults that create exploitable conditions.
Instruction on secure initialization of security controls prevents leaving resources with insecure defaults after installation.
