Mitigating Controls

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-307

This control directly enforces limits on consecutive invalid logon attempts and automatic response (e.g., lockout) to prevent brute-force exploitation of authentication mechanisms.

addresses: CWE-307

Specific conditions can include excessive failed attempts, triggering stronger authentication that restricts brute-force exploitation.

addresses: CWE-799

The control requires defining frequency, timing, and approval for security interactions, directly addressing uncontrolled interaction rates.

addresses: CWE-799

Allocation policies inherently restrict interaction frequency, reducing the impact of excessive requests.

addresses: CWE-799

Spam protection explicitly controls interaction frequency by detecting and acting on bulk unsolicited messages from external sources.
