Weaknesses this control addresses (6)AI-assisted
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-20 | Improper Input Validation | 14,000+ | Security testing and developer training directly verify and enforce proper input validation, reducing exploitability of injection and malformed-data weaknesses. |
CWE-352 | Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) | 10,700+ | Security testing regimens explicitly include checks for missing or ineffective anti-CSRF protections in web applications. |
CWE-284 | Improper Access Control | 6,900+ | Ongoing testing, training, and monitoring plans verify that access-control enforcement remains effective and aligned with risk priorities. |
CWE-287 | Improper Authentication | 5,200+ | Authentication testing and monitoring activities ensure mechanisms are implemented, maintained, and resistant to bypass. |
CWE-693 | Protection Mechanism Failure | 700+ | The control requires systematic testing and monitoring of protection mechanisms to confirm they function as intended against organizational risks. |
CWE-778 | Insufficient Logging | 28 | Monitoring plans mandate sufficient logging and event collection to detect anomalous behavior and support incident response. |
