Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match

Enforces approved authorizations for logical access to stored information, directly stopping unauthorized read/write.

SC-28 Protection of Information at Rest good match

Requires protection of confidentiality/integrity for information at rest, directly addressing insecure storage.

AC-6 Least Privilege good match

Limits privileges so only authorized accesses to sensitive stored data are permitted.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly enforces correct handling of parameter counts and defined values before processing occurs.

AC-16 Security and Privacy Attributes partial match

Associates security attributes with information to support proper access decisions on storage.

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.AA-05 mostly match
prevents

Enforces least-privilege permissions and authorization reviews that limit read/write access to stored sensitive data.

PR.DS-01 mostly match
prevents

Directly protects data-at-rest confidentiality via encryption or access controls that prevent unauthorized reads.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require proper input validation and parameter handling to prevent this weakness.

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 missing-value flaws but does not itself implement the handling logic.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development lifecycle includes input validation and parameter handling requirements that reduce missing-value errors.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for validation of all input parameters and fields.

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

Secure architecture principles encourage robust input handling but do not directly specify value-count checks.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards mandate proper handling of missing or undefined parameters, directly addressing this weakness.

A.7.10 Storage media none match
mitigates

Secure reuse and disposal procedures, including cryptographic wiping and physical destruction, stop the insecure storage of sensitive data on media that may later be accessed by unauthorized actors.
