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 flawed assumptions about HTTP method safety during design and coding.

ID.RA-01 partial match
prevents

Vulnerability identification processes can discover this server-side logic flaw through testing or scanning.

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

Security testing can detect and prevent vulnerabilities where GET requests cause unintended state changes.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can mandate proper HTTP method usage and state-changing operation restrictions.

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

Secure system architecture principles include proper HTTP method handling and RESTful design to prevent state changes via GET.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding practices directly address improper HTTP method usage and ensure state-changing operations use POST/PUT/DELETE.
