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.

SI-10 Information Input Validation
addresses: CWE-22

Validates pathnames and filenames to prevent traversal outside intended directories.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

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 path sanitization that neutralize traversal sequences.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Patching/maintenance can remediate known path-traversal flaws in deployed software (partial prevention of exploitability) but does nothing to stop the coding defect from being introduced in the first place.

PR.AA-05 none match
prevents

PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.

Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI

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.

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

Security testing in development can detect path-traversal flaws before release.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path-handling controls that directly mitigate path traversal.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements include rules for safe file-path construction and canonicalization.

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

Secure architecture principles require proper directory restrictions and input sanitization to prevent traversal.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe path concatenation and mandate canonicalization routines.

A.8.3 Information access restriction partial match
mitigates

Information access restriction limits file reachability but does not address the input-validation flaw itself.
