Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

SI-10 requires validity checks on information inputs, directly stopping syntactically malformed data from being processed without proper handling.

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 robust input validation and syntax handling to prevent malformed-structure flaws.

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 can detect malformed-input issues but does not itself implement the handling logic.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and error handling that directly prevents improper handling of syntactically invalid structures.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements include explicit rules for input validation and malformed-data handling.

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

Secure system architecture principles encourage robust input handling but do not prescribe the specific coding practice.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding explicitly requires validation of all input syntax and structure, directly eliminating CWE-228.
