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 verification of digital signatures using organization-approved certificates before installation, directly preventing improper verification of cryptographic signatures.
Component authenticity requires verifying origin/integrity of acquired firmware or software, directly preventing inclusion of code without integrity checks.
Integrity tools commonly rely on cryptographic signatures whose improper validation this weakness covers.
Detecting counterfeits requires integrity verification of received components before acceptance.
Policies can require integrity verification of software prior to installation, reducing risks from unverified downloads.
Acquisition and maintenance portions of the strategy drive requirements for integrity verification of downloaded or supplied code.
Mandating integrity control and approved-only changes during development prevents incorporation of code or components lacking integrity validation.
Supply chain protection requires integrity verification of acquired components, directly reducing insertion or tampering of malicious code during delivery.
