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-327

Contacts with security groups provide timely information on broken or risky cryptographic algorithms, reducing the likelihood of their selection and use.

addresses: CWE-327

Ongoing education and sharing of recommended practices helps organizations identify and migrate away from broken or risky cryptographic algorithms.

addresses: CWE-327

Cross-organization threat feeds commonly include advances in cryptanalysis and active exploits against weak or broken algorithms, allowing organizations to deprecate them proactively.

addresses: CWE-327

Capital planning and funding allow selection and ongoing support of strong cryptographic algorithms rather than weak or broken ones.

addresses: CWE-327

Risk updates surface newly-broken or risky cryptographic algorithms as threat intelligence and computing advances evolve, enabling timely replacement.

addresses: CWE-327

Scanners flag use of broken or weak cryptographic algorithms via known-vulnerability databases.

addresses: CWE-327

Enforces approved cryptographic algorithms for each use case, blocking use of broken or risky algorithms.

addresses: CWE-327

Flaw remediation replaces broken or risky cryptographic algorithms once safer implementations are released by vendors.

PR.DS-01 partial match
prevents

PR.DS-01 promotes encryption for data-at-rest but never requires strong algorithms, leaving CWE-327 fully possible; the weakness is also far broader than data-at-rest so one narrow control removes none of its total risk.

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

Mandating approved algorithms, cipher strength and usage standards directly stops the selection of broken or weak cryptographic primitives that attackers can exploit.

prevents

The explicit call-out of cryptography-related legal constraints (import/export, key escrow, digital-signature validity) reduces the likelihood that an organization will adopt broken or non-compliant cryptographic algorithms that violate those rules.

prevents

Access to current specialist guidance and early vulnerability alerts enables timely replacement of broken or risky cryptographic algorithms with stronger alternatives.
