CWE Name CVEs Why this control addresses it
CWE-352Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)10,337Requiring user re-entry of credentials for sensitive actions prevents automated forgery of requests without active user participation.
CWE-306Missing Authentication for Critical Function2,567Re-authentication enforces fresh credential validation for critical functions or operations as defined by the organization parameter.
CWE-613Insufficient Session Expiration606Re-authentication after inactivity or time-based triggers prevents indefinite use of potentially hijacked or stale sessions.
CWE-384Session Fixation469Re-authentication typically forces issuance of a new session, limiting the window for exploitation of a previously fixed session identifier.
