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-266

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

addresses: CWE-266

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

addresses: CWE-266

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

addresses: CWE-266

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

addresses: CWE-266

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

PR.AA-05 full match
prevents

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

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.

prevents

The access-rights control governs the entire lifecycle of privilege assignment, directly eliminating incorrect assignments.

prevents

Privileged-access-rights control explicitly requires least-privilege assignment and ongoing validation, directly mitigating CWE-266.

prevents

Access control policy directly prevents incorrect privilege assignment by defining who may receive which rights.

mitigates

Segregation of duties reduces blast radius of any single incorrect privilege but does not prevent the assignment itself.

mitigates

Restricting privileged utility programs limits exposure from over-privileged accounts but does not address how privileges are assigned.

prevents

Information-access-restriction mechanisms enforce the correct privilege boundaries once assignment rules are defined.
