CVE-2026-118539

Requiring an access control policy ensures authorization checks are defined and applied for critical functions.

Reviews of access controls detect missing authorization checks on critical functions or resources.

Documenting permitted unauthenticated actions prevents missing authorization by making all exceptions explicit and subject to organizational review.

Requiring attribute association with information prevents authorization from being performed without necessary security or privacy context.

Mandating authorization prior to allowing remote connections addresses missing authorization for remote access.

Mandating authorization before wireless connections are allowed prevents missing authorization for wireless access.

The control requires authorization before allowing mobile device connections, directly mitigating missing authorization for system access.

Requiring approvals for account creation and specifying authorizations ensures authorization is not missing for system access.

Requiring formal authorization of every access request before rights are granted ensures that checks for required permissions are performed, preventing missing authorization checks from being introduced.

By requiring competent outsiders to verify that every function enforces the need-to-know principle, the control lowers the likelihood that missing authorization checks persist undetected.

Requiring evidence of minimum security capabilities and acceptance testing ensures that missing or bypassed authorization checks are detected before the delivered software is accepted.

Mandating read-only access or proxy execution by an authorized administrator ensures every requested operation is explicitly authorized before it occurs.

Mandatory authorization checks before allowing modifications ensure that every sensitive action on source code is preceded by an explicit access-control decision.
