AC-1 Policy and Procedures
addresses: CWE-863

Periodic review and update of procedures reduces incorrect authorization implementations over time.

AC-13 Supervision and Review — Access Control
addresses: CWE-863

Supervision identifies cases where authorization logic incorrectly permits unauthorized actions.

AC-16 Security and Privacy Attributes
addresses: CWE-863

Defining permitted attribute values and auditing modifications reduces the chance of incorrect authorization outcomes due to tampered or missing labels.

AC-17 Remote Access
addresses: CWE-863

The authorization process and usage restrictions help prevent incorrect authorization for remote access types.

AC-18 Wireless Access
addresses: CWE-863

Establishing configuration and connection requirements helps ensure correct rather than incorrect authorization for wireless access.

AC-19 Access Control for Mobile Devices
addresses: CWE-863

Establishing connection authorization processes for mobile devices helps ensure authorization decisions are correctly implemented rather than incorrect.

AC-2 Account Management
addresses: CWE-863

Monitoring account use, notifying on changes, and reviewing accounts for compliance corrects incorrect authorization assignments.

AC-20 Use of External Systems
addresses: CWE-863

Ensures authorization decisions for external system use are correctly implemented and enforced.
