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 bounds checking and input validation that prevent out-of-bounds buffer accesses.

ID.RA-01 partial match
prevents

Vulnerability scanning and recording can discover instances of out-of-bounds reads after code is deployed.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Routine patching replaces vulnerable code containing out-of-bounds read flaws.

detects

Security testing in development can detect buffer-overrun defects before release.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
detects

Logging can record evidence of an out-of-bounds read but does not prevent the weakness itself.

prevents

Secure development life cycle includes buffer-handling practices that reduce out-of-bounds accesses.

prevents

Application security requirements can mandate bounds checking and safe memory APIs.

prevents

Secure architecture principles discourage unsafe pointer arithmetic and unbounded buffers.

prevents

Secure coding standards directly forbid writing or reading past buffer ends.
