Control response
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly enforces authentication decisions so the Local Authentication Framework bypass cannot grant access without valid credentials.
Requires explicit access-control restrictions and configuration for mobile apps, eliminating unused biometric libraries that enable the bypass.
Mandates removal of non-essential functionality (the Local Authentication Framework) that is not required by the application design.
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.
Certificate-based authentication requires valid, non-revoked certificates; proper revocation checking is a core implementation detail of this control.
Protecting data-in-transit commonly relies on TLS certificate validation that includes revocation status checks.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
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.
Mandates use of cryptography including certificate validation and revocation checking.
Security testing can detect missing or incorrect certificate revocation checks.
Secure coding practices should include proper certificate revocation verification.
Requires secure authentication mechanisms that rely on valid certificates.
Network security controls can enforce certificate validation at network boundaries.
Security of network services includes certificate-based authentication and revocation checks.
