Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

SI-10 requires validity checks on information inputs, directly stopping acceptance of malformed quantities before they can be used.

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 require proper quantity/length validation in input handling.

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 in development can detect missing quantity validation but does not itself implement the control.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation for quantity fields, directly preventing CWE-1284.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for validation of size/length inputs, mitigating CWE-1284.

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

Secure architecture principles encourage robust input handling but do not specifically address quantity validation.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards require explicit checks on numeric quantity inputs, fully addressing CWE-1284.
