Weaknesses this control addresses (7)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-200 | Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor | 10,204 | The media protection policy defines requirements and procedures to prevent unauthorized disclosure or access to sensitive information on media. |
CWE-284 | Improper Access Control | 4,832 | Policy and procedures establish documented access controls and responsibilities for media, reducing improper access. |
CWE-285 | Improper Authorization | 1,230 | Procedures enforce authorization rules for media handling, making unauthorized actions harder to perform without detection. |
CWE-319 | Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information | 1,042 | Policy addresses secure transport and handling of media to avoid cleartext transmission of sensitive information. |
CWE-312 | Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information | 915 | Policy requires protection measures such as encryption for sensitive data stored on media, preventing cleartext exposure. |
CWE-552 | Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties | 540 | Policy restricts media access to authorized parties only, preventing exposure of resources to external or unauthorized actors. |
CWE-226 | Sensitive Information in Resource Not Removed Before Reuse | 30 | Procedures include sanitization, overwriting, and disposal requirements to remove sensitive data before media reuse or release. |
