PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC directly requires input neutralization and validation that eliminates XML injection flaws.

finds

Security testing catches XML injection during development but does not itself implement the fix.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
finds

Logging can record injection attempts for detection but does not prevent the weakness.

finds

Monitoring can detect exploitation but provides no preventive control over XML handling.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevent XML injection.

prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for defenses against injection flaws including XML.

prevents

Secure architecture principles reduce attack surface but do not prescribe XML-specific controls.
