CVE-2026-17475

Documented procedures facilitate correct implementation and ongoing management of authorization decisions.

Periodic reviews identify and correct flaws in authorization decisions or enforcement.

The control's documentation requirement reduces improper authorization by ensuring only mission-justified actions bypass authentication.

Establishing permitted attributes and values, plus auditing changes, ensures authorization decisions are based on correctly managed policy data.

Explicitly mandates authorizing remote access types before permitting connections, directly mitigating improper authorization.

The control explicitly requires authorization of each wireless access type prior to permitting connections.

Mandating explicit authorization of mobile device connections reduces the risk of improper authorization decisions for system access.

Specifying access authorizations for each account and requiring approvals for account requests enforces proper authorization decisions.

Mapping access rights to information classification and business requirements forces correct enforcement of authorization decisions, blocking the incorrect authorization weakness at the policy and implementation stage.

Independent reviewers evaluate whether authorization logic matches policy, thereby reducing the window in which incorrect or missing authorization checks remain in production.

By requiring managers to verify that authorization decisions match policy and to remediate deviations, the control limits the persistence of incorrect or missing authorization checks.

Mandatory review and acceptance testing of changes before deployment reduces the chance that an authorization decision will be implemented incorrectly or will grant unintended rights.
