Why these techniques?
Malicious file opened by victim triggers the vuln (T1204.002); resulting incorrect authorization directly enables arbitrary local file system reads (T1005).

Control response
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly enforces authorization decisions to block unauthorized file-system reads outside intended scope.
Limits application privileges so that even a malicious file cannot expand read access beyond the minimal required set.
Validates file contents and paths before processing to stop malicious files from triggering incorrect authorization checks.
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.
Defining, enforcing, and reviewing access authorizations and least privilege directly prevents incorrect authorization checks.

Requiring consistency between access rights and classification plus formal approval steps ensures that the authorization logic correctly distinguishes between entities that should and should not be granted access.
Enforcing policy-driven approval and role-change reviews stops incorrect or stale authorization decisions from remaining in effect after job changes or terminations.
By tying access rights to identity, device, location and classification, the control reduces the likelihood that an authorization decision will be based on an incorrect or bypassed policy.
