Likely Mitigating Controls AI

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.

addresses: CWE-391 CWE-754

Ensures audit logging process failures are checked and trigger defined responses instead of remaining unchecked.

addresses: CWE-391 CWE-754

Testing IR effectiveness identifies and drives fixes for unchecked error conditions that fail to initiate incident handling.

addresses: CWE-391 CWE-754

Mandates ongoing correlation, analysis, and response to monitoring results, reducing unchecked error conditions from control assessments.

addresses: CWE-754

Implements detection of unusual or exceptional conditions followed by safe mode entry, reducing the window for exploitation of unchecked conditions.

addresses: CWE-754

Training ensures users perform required checks for unusual or exceptional conditions as part of contingency roles, limiting attacker leverage from skipped validations.

addresses: CWE-391

Policy enforces checking and handling of error conditions as part of incident response processes.

addresses: CWE-391

Formal incident handling procedures enforce checking and acting on error conditions that could indicate security incidents.

addresses: CWE-754

Security testing routinely checks for unusual or exceptional inputs/conditions, identifying missing validation steps that flaw remediation then resolves.

PR.PS-06 full match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices include proper exception and error handling, eliminating the root cause of CWE-391.

PR.PS-04 mostly match
prevents

Requiring log generation makes ignored error conditions visible to monitoring, directly reducing the weakness impact.

DE.AE-02 partial match
prevents

Event analysis can surface consequences of unchecked errors but does not enforce error checking itself.

DE.CM-09 partial match
prevents

Runtime monitoring can detect anomalous behavior from ignored errors but does not prevent the coding flaw.

prevents

Secure coding standards directly prohibit ignoring exceptions and unchecked errors.

finds

Security testing can detect missing error handling before deployment.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
finds

Logging can record unhandled exceptions but does not prevent the weakness itself.

finds

Monitoring may detect symptoms of unhandled conditions but does not eliminate the root weakness.

prevents

Secure development life cycle requires systematic error handling, reducing unchecked conditions.

prevents

Application security requirements include explicit handling of error conditions.
