Weaknesses this control addresses (4)AI
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-284 | Improper Access Control | 4,832 | The policy defines roles, responsibilities, and management commitment for authorization and monitoring, establishing formal access controls over these security functions. |
CWE-285 | Improper Authorization | 1,230 | Requiring documented authorization policy and procedures ensures authorization decisions follow defined, consistent processes instead of ad-hoc practices. |
CWE-693 | Protection Mechanism Failure | 476 | Documented procedures to implement assessment, authorization, and monitoring controls prevent these protection mechanisms from failing due to undefined processes. |
CWE-657 | Violation of Secure Design Principles | 19 | Mandating the policy be consistent with laws, standards, and guidelines enforces secure design principles in security governance and oversight. |
