A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
blocks

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and safe resource naming practices that directly prevent CWE-641.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
blocks

Application security requirements include rules for handling untrusted input when constructing file or resource names.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
blocks

A.8.27 mandates security-by-design principles (least privilege, distrust external input, fail securely, security-oriented design reviews) that reach improper name construction for some file/resource cases but leave a bounded remainder (e.g. custom business logic for name sanitization or legacy components) unaddressed by the engineering principles alone.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly require validation and sanitization of filenames derived from external input.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance partial match
finds

Security testing can detect improper filename handling but does not itself prevent the weakness.
