PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require input neutralization and safe EL construction to prevent injection flaws.

finds

Security testing in development and acceptance can detect EL injection but does not itself implement the fix.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevent expression-language injection.

prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection flaws including EL injection.

prevents

Secure architecture principles reduce the attack surface but do not prescribe the specific neutralization techniques needed.

prevents

Secure coding standards require proper escaping and parameterization of expression-language statements.
