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 practices directly require proper input neutralization and validation to prevent identifier-handling flaws.

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

Security testing can detect the weakness but does not itself implement the neutralization controls.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and sanitization that directly prevents improper neutralization of invalid characters in identifiers.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for validation of all inputs including identifiers, mitigating this weakness.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards require proper neutralization of invalid characters in tag names, URIs and identifiers, directly addressing CWE-86.
