Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover unreachable loop exit conditions through static analysis, fuzzing, or execution tracing.
Flaw remediation processes identify and correct infinite-loop defects reported from testing or operations.
Requiring documented development processes and secure coding standards reduces introduction of loops whose termination conditions are unreachable.
Engineering principles can require developers to bound all loops and iterations at design time.
Resource quotas limit the CPU/time impact of an excessively long loop without eliminating the flaw.
Input validation can reject or sanitize data that would otherwise drive unbounded iteration.

Security testing can uncover infinite-loop conditions before release.
Secure development life cycle mandates practices that can detect and prevent infinite-loop defects.
Application security requirements can specify loop-termination rules, indirectly reducing the weakness.
Secure architecture principles mandate defensive coding patterns such as loop termination checks.
Secure coding standards directly address loop termination and prevent infinite loops.
Change management can require review of loop logic when code is modified.
