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-345Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity643Control requires verification of data authenticity/integrity (e.g., checksums) after aggregation/packing, directly reducing exploitation of insufficient verification before transmission.
CWE-354Improper Validation of Integrity Check Value184Control mandates proper validation of integrity values (checksums) on prepared data, making flawed validation of those checks ineffective for attackers.
CWE-353Missing Support for Integrity Check37Control explicitly adds support for integrity mechanisms such as checksums during preparation, preventing attacks that rely on missing integrity checks.
CWE-471Modification of Assumed-Immutable Data (MAID)34Checksums and integrity protection during transformation/packing detect unauthorized modification of data assumed to be immutable before it is transmitted.
