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-787

Out-of-bounds writes that corrupt control flow or inject shellcode are rendered non-executable by the same memory protections.

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 input validation and bounds checking that prevent improper array indexing.

ID.RA-01 partial match
prevents

Vulnerability scanning and recording can discover out-of-bounds write flaws so they can be remediated.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Patching or replacing vulnerable software directly eliminates known instances of this coding weakness.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

finds

Security testing in development can detect out-of-bounds array access but does not prevent the weakness by itself.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and bounds checking that directly prevents improper array indexing.

prevents

Application security requirements include validation of untrusted input used for indexing or addressing memory structures.

prevents

Secure architecture principles encourage defensive coding patterns that reduce index-related vulnerabilities.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly require bounds checking and validation of array indices derived from untrusted data.

prevents

Change management can enforce review gates that catch unsafe memory operations before deployment.
