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.
Provides a tamperproof, always-invoked, and verifiable mechanism to enforce access control policies.
Certification requires independent assessment confirming access controls are implemented correctly and effective.
Tailoring selects and adjusts the precise set of access-control baselines and compensating controls required for the system, directly reducing improper access control exposure.
Documented procedures for role definition, privilege assignment, and removal provide the management framework that prevents improper privilege management.
By determining which components are critical, the analysis drives proper privilege assignment and management for those components, limiting attacker escalation paths.
Developer training on implemented privilege management controls prevents improper assignment or escalation through correct configuration and operation.
Least-privilege and separation-of-duties principles prevent improper privilege management.
Requiring authorization, monitoring, and control of component use directly enforces access control decisions on system resources.
