Likely Mitigating Controls AI
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.
Documented procedures facilitate correct implementation and ongoing management of authorization decisions.
Establishing permitted attributes and values, plus auditing changes, ensures authorization decisions are based on correctly managed policy data.
The process verifies authorization mechanisms function as intended before system approval.
Requiring definition, approval, and enforcement of access rules for changes addresses improper authorization of modifications.
The control explicitly manages authorization decisions and integrates them into risk management, making incorrect or incomplete authorization decisions less likely to persist.
Incident handling team identifies and mitigates authorization failures that allow insiders to perform unauthorized actions.
Establishes accountability for authorization decisions and enforcement on data handling and access.
Organization-level risk governance improves authorization consistency and prevents authorization decisions made without enterprise risk context.
