Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match

Access enforcement directly stops resources from being reachable by actors outside the intended control sphere.

AC-4 Information Flow Enforcement good match

Information flow enforcement structurally prevents unintended cross-sphere data or resource exposure.

AC-6 Least Privilege good match

AC-6 limits privileges granted to processes creating or accessing temporary files, reducing blast radius of insecure permissions.

SC-4 Information in Shared System Resources good match

SC-4 directly stops unauthorized information transfer through shared resources such as temporary files created with weak permissions.

AC-16 Security and Privacy Attributes partial match

Security attributes enable correct sphere assignment and subsequent enforcement decisions.

SC-7 Boundary Protection partial match

Boundary protection at interfaces prevents resources from being exposed outside authorized spheres.

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

Enforcing least-privilege authorizations directly prevents resources from being exposed outside their intended control sphere.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require proper temporary-file creation and permission handling.

PR.IR-01 partial match
prevents

Network segmentation and unauthorized-access protections reduce the chance of resources being reachable by the wrong sphere.

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.

A.8.28 Secure coding mostly match
prevents

Secure coding standards directly prohibit insecure temporary file creation and permissions.

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

Security testing can detect insecure temporary files but does not prevent their creation.

A.8.22 Segregation of networks partial match
mitigates

Placing systems of differing trust levels into separate domains prevents resources from being placed in a sphere where they are reachable by unintended actors.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC mandates secure handling of temporary files and permissions.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements include secure creation and permissioning of temporary files.

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

Secure architecture principles require least-privilege file creation and access controls.
