CWE-924Improper Enforcement of Message Integrity During Transmission in a Communication Channel
The product establishes a communication channel with an endpoint and receives a message from that endpoint, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the message was not modified during transmission.
Attackers might be able to modify the message and spoof the endpoint by interfering with the data as it crosses the network or by redirecting the connection to a system under their control.

NIST 800-53 r5 controls PROPOSED for this weakness (1)AI-assisted
These are model PROPOSALS, not graded mappings. They come
from controls_to_cwe_proposals, which carries no grade field at
all; across the CWE pages 1,540 of 1,722 such associations (89%) have never
been graded by anything. The heading said “address” until
2026-09-29, which asserted a relationship the data does not carry.
Graded cross-walks are on the framework map, not here.
| Control | Title | Family | Why it addresses this CWE |
|---|---|---|---|
SC-8 | Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity | SC | graded full The control directly mandates integrity protection for transmitted information, addressing failures to enforce message integrity in transit. |
