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 output encoding and header sanitization to prevent scripting injection.

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

Security testing catches header-injection issues before release, covering most of the weakness.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevents header-injection flaws.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for neutralizing untrusted data in HTTP headers.

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

Secure architecture principles reduce injection surfaces but do not prescribe header-specific controls.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards require proper escaping or rejection of scripting syntax in HTTP headers.
