CIS-16.3 Perform Root Cause Analysis on Security Vulnerabilities

• T1078 Valid Accounts — Application developers can use root cause analysis to address code or build process practices that expose credentials to ensure that applications do not store sensitive data or credentials insecurely. • T1195 Supply Chain Compromise — Application developers should exercise caution when selecting and integrating third-party libraries, using root-cause analysis of identified vulnerabilities to strengthen dependency-selection and management practices. This helps prevent supply chain compromise through vulnerable or malicious software dependencies and development tools. • T1195.001 Compromise Software Dependencies and Development Tools — Application developers should exercise caution when selecting and integrating third-party libraries, using root-cause analysis of identified vulnerabilities to strengthen dependency-selection and management practices. This helps prevent supply-chain compromise through vulnerable or malicious software dependencies and development tools. • T1212 Exploitation for Credential Access — Application developers can use root-cause analysis to identify and remediate recurring authentication-validation weaknesses, such as missing replay protections, weak session controls, or flawed request validation. This reduces opportunities for adversaries to replay authentication messages, impersonate authorized parties, and conduct exploitation for credential access.
