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 complete input filtering and sanitization to prevent this weakness.

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

Security testing in development and acceptance can detect incomplete filtering but does not itself implement the filtering.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development life cycle processes include validation activities that reduce the likelihood of CWE-791 but do not specify the control itself.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for input validation and sanitization that directly mitigates incomplete special-element filtering.

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

Secure system architecture and engineering principles require defensive design patterns that prevent unfiltered data from reaching downstream components.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards mandate complete filtering and escaping of special elements, directly eliminating CWE-791.
