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.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly enforce proper error-handling and return-value checking during development.

DE.CM-09 partial match
prevents

Runtime monitoring of software and environments can detect adverse events triggered by unhandled exceptional conditions.

PR.PS-04 partial match
prevents

Generating logs of exceptions and errors enables detection of improper handling of unusual conditions.

finds

Security testing in development catches missing or incorrect return-value checks.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
finds

Logging can record unhandled exceptions but does not prevent the weakness itself.

finds

Monitoring may detect symptoms of unhandled conditions but does not eliminate the root weakness.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates return-value checks and error handling, directly reducing CWE-253.

prevents

Application security requirements include robust error handling that mitigates incorrect return-value checks.

prevents

Secure architecture principles require defensive coding practices such as validating function results.
