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.
Changing default authenticators prior to first use directly prevents use of hard-coded passwords.
Shared threat data frequently highlights products or deployments still using hard-coded passwords, enabling remediation that directly blocks credential-based attacks.
Background checks and authorization requirements decrease the probability that a developer will hard-code passwords for later unauthorized access.
Reviews of supplier deliverables reduce the chance that hard-coded passwords are introduced into the system.
