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 prevent introduction of symlink-following flaws in file-handling code.

ID.RA-01 partial match
prevents

Vulnerability identification can discover existing symlink issues but does not prevent or remediate them in code.

PR.AA-05 partial match
prevents

Least-privilege access policies can limit damage from symlink attacks but do not address the coding flaw itself.

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 symlink-following vulnerabilities before deployment, covering most of the weakness.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices can mandate link-resolution checks and canonicalization before file access.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can explicitly require safe handling of symbolic links and path traversal.

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

Secure-architecture principles require safe file-handling and canonicalization, directly addressing symlink attacks.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure-coding standards mandate explicit symlink checks and safe open patterns, fully mitigating CWE-61.

A.8.3 Information access restriction partial match
mitigates

Access-control rules can restrict which files a process may open, reducing symlink-following risk but not eliminating the underlying path-resolution flaw.
