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-691

Design principles and implementation approaches enforce robust control-flow management to maintain function and enable recovery after disruption.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC activities such as static analysis, code review, and testing directly prevent control-flow weaknesses while also addressing many other coding defects.

detects

Security testing in development and acceptance can detect control-flow weaknesses but does not itself implement preventive controls.

prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates structured control-flow design and review that directly reduces unexpected flow manipulation.

prevents

Secure system architecture and engineering principles require explicit control-flow integrity mechanisms and error-handling paths.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid constructs that allow unintended control-flow changes such as missing breaks or unsafe jumps.

prevents

Change management reduces introduction of control-flow defects through controlled updates but does not address the weakness directly.
