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-248

Prevents abrupt termination from uncaught exceptions by requiring a defined, preserved-state failure mode.

addresses: CWE-248

Requires pre-defined safe responses for uncaught exceptions so they do not result in undefined or insecure program termination.

finds

Security testing can detect uncaught exceptions before production deployment.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle includes exception-handling standards that reduce uncaught exceptions.

prevents

Application security requirements typically mandate robust error and exception handling.

prevents

Secure architecture principles call for centralized, comprehensive exception management.

prevents

Secure coding standards directly require catching and handling exceptions to prevent crashes or leaks.
