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.DS-01 mostly match
prevents

Protecting data-at-rest with cryptographic hashes directly prevents recoverable password storage.

PR.PS-06 partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices include requirements for non-recoverable password storage.

A.5.17 Authentication information full match
degrades

Directly requires secure handling and protection of authentication information, preventing storage in recoverable formats.

A.8.5 Secure authentication full match
degrades

Mandates secure authentication mechanisms that preclude recoverable password storage.

A.8.24 Use of cryptography partial match
degrades

Requires proper use of cryptography, which can mitigate recoverable storage if applied correctly to passwords.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC includes requirements that reduce the likelihood of introducing recoverable password storage.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding practices can prevent developers from implementing recoverable password storage.
