Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC directly requires input neutralization and validation that eliminates XML injection flaws.

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

Security testing catches XML injection during development but does not itself implement the fix.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
finds

Logging can record injection attempts for detection but does not prevent the weakness.

A.8.16 Monitoring activities partial match
finds

Monitoring can detect exploitation but provides no preventive control over XML handling.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevent XML injection.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for defenses against injection flaws including XML.

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

Secure architecture principles reduce attack surface but do not prescribe XML-specific controls.
