Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match

Enforces approved authorizations for logical access to stored information, directly stopping unauthorized read/write.

SC-28 Protection of Information at Rest good match

Requires protection of confidentiality/integrity for information at rest, directly addressing insecure storage.

AC-6 Least Privilege good match

Limits privileges so only authorized accesses to sensitive stored data are permitted.

SC-13 Cryptographic Protection good match

Specifying and implementing required cryptography types directly precludes negotiation or acceptance of weaker algorithms.

AC-16 Security and Privacy Attributes partial match

Associates security attributes with information to support proper access decisions on storage.

SC-8 Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity partial match

Requiring protection of transmitted confidentiality and integrity forces selection of sufficiently strong negotiated algorithms rather than weaker ones.

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.

PR.AA-05 mostly match
prevents

Enforces least-privilege permissions and authorization reviews that limit read/write access to stored sensitive data.

PR.DS-01 mostly match
prevents

Directly protects data-at-rest confidentiality via encryption or access controls that prevent unauthorized reads.

PR.AA-04 none match
prevents

PR.AA-04 addresses protection/verification of identity assertions in SSO/federation contexts while CWE-757 concerns protocol-level crypto algorithm negotiation, so the control neither prevents nor meaningfully mitigates the weakness.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can detect and block algorithm downgrade vulnerabilities before deployment.

A.8.21 Security of network services partial match
mitigates

Ensures network services use secure cryptographic parameters, reducing downgrade risk.

A.8.24 Use of cryptography partial match
prevents

Mandates use of strong, approved cryptographic algorithms, directly preventing downgrade to weaker ones.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices include selecting strong crypto algorithms during design and implementation.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can specify minimum cryptographic strength to avoid downgrades.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
prevents

Secure architecture principles include enforcing strong algorithm selection in protocol design.
