Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly counters CWE-267 by restricting privileges to only those actions required, preventing a high-privileged account from performing unsafe operations that cause partial DoS.

prevent

Enforces access-control decisions at the naming-subsystem HTTP interface so that even authenticated high-privileged requests cannot execute the unsafe actions leading to the partial availability impact.

prevent

Requires timely installation of vendor patches that remediate the privilege-handling flaw in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Kit 8.8.

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

Defining and enforcing least-privilege permissions directly reduces the chance that a privilege permits unintended unsafe actions.

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.

mitigates

Use of privileged utility programs restricts dangerous tools but does not address unsafe actions within assigned privileges.

mitigates

Access control policy can limit unsafe privilege use but does not define safe actions for each privilege.

degrades

Access rights assignment can restrict privileges to intended actions, yet does not guarantee the privilege itself is safe.

mitigates

Segregation of duties reduces risk of unsafe actions by splitting privileges but does not address unsafe privilege definitions.

mitigates

Privileged access rights control can restrict unsafe privileges, yet does not ensure the privilege definition itself is safe.

mitigates

Secure development lifecycle can catch unsafe privilege definitions during design but does not prevent them at runtime.
