Likely Mitigating Controls AI

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.

AU-8 Time Stamps
addresses: CWE-362

Accurate timestamps from internal clocks enable detection of race conditions by providing reliable event ordering in audit logs.

PL-6 Security-related Activity Planning
addresses: CWE-362

Coordination of concurrent security activities reduces the probability that shared resources will be accessed simultaneously without proper synchronization.

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 proper synchronization primitives and concurrency testing that prevent race 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.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
detects

Security testing can detect race conditions, but does not prevent them at design or coding time.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC mandates concurrency controls and synchronization primitives that directly prevent race conditions.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can specify thread-safety and locking rules, but do not prescribe implementation details.

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

Secure architecture principles require proper synchronization and resource isolation, addressing the root cause of CWE-362.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe concurrent access patterns and mandate atomic operations or locks.

A.8.32 Change management none match
none

Change management reduces introduction of concurrency bugs during updates, yet does not address the weakness itself.
