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

A.8.27 mandates establishing and applying secure engineering principles (including secure-by-design, least privilege, hardening, and design reviews) but does not itself stop a free() of non-heap memory from being exploitable; the weakness can still be present and reached at runtime.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid freeing pointers not obtained from heap allocators, directly mitigating CWE-590.
