CWEs ranked by how often they appear in real CVEs. The rationale describes how this control reduces exploitability of each weakness class.

CWE Name CVEs Why this control addresses it
CWE-200Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor10,204Automated marking applies security attributes to system outputs, making it harder for attackers to exploit unmarked sensitive information leading to unauthorized exposure.
CWE-284Improper Access Control4,832By automatically labeling outputs with security attributes, the control supports attribute-based enforcement and reduces exploitability of improper access control weaknesses.
CWE-359Exposure of Private Personal Information to an Unauthorized Actor174Automated marking identifies private personal information in outputs, tangibly reducing the ability to exploit weaknesses that result in its unauthorized exposure.
