Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation can discover regex that fails to match or compare data as intended.

AC-25 Reference Monitor partial match

A reference monitor must be small and correct, structurally limiting the chance of flawed comparison logic in authorization decisions.

SA-15 Development Process, Standards, and Tools partial match

Requiring documented development standards and tools reduces the chance that incorrect regular expressions are written into validation or filtering logic.

SA-3 System Development Life Cycle partial match

An SDLC that incorporates security can embed reviews or tooling that catch malformed regular expressions before deployment.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Security engineering principles require correct implementation of comparison logic used for access and authentication decisions.

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 correct regex design, testing, and review to avoid improper matching.

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 regex-related flaws before release.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development lifecycle includes validation of input-handling constructs such as regex.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can mandate correct regex design and testing.

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

Secure architecture principles can require robust comparison mechanisms for access decisions.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards directly address proper construction and review of regular expressions.

A.8.5 Secure authentication partial match
degrades

Secure authentication mechanisms rely on correct comparison of credentials or tokens.
