Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and code analysis can discover missing or incorrect return-value checks.
Input validation directly requires checking for unexpected or malformed conditions before they propagate.
Documented development standards and tools can mandate verified checking of every function return value.
Security engineering principles include requirements for robust error checking of all function returns.
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.
Secure SDLC practices directly enforce proper error-handling and return-value checking during development.
Runtime monitoring of software and environments can detect adverse events triggered by unhandled exceptional conditions.
Generating logs of exceptions and errors enables detection of improper handling of unusual conditions.
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.
Security testing in development catches missing or incorrect return-value checks.
Logging can record unhandled exceptions but does not prevent the weakness itself.
Monitoring may detect symptoms of unhandled conditions but does not eliminate the root weakness.
Secure SDLC mandates return-value checks and error handling, directly reducing CWE-253.
Application security requirements include robust error handling that mitigates incorrect return-value checks.
Secure architecture principles require defensive coding practices such as validating function results.
