prevent

Directly enforces access control decisions so that unauthorized users cannot retrieve the sensitive server information exposed by the product.

prevent

Enforces information-flow policies that block the product from releasing internal server details outside authorized boundaries.

detect

Explicitly requires monitoring for evidence of unauthorized disclosure of sensitive system information matching this CWE-497 exposure.
