Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly stops out-of-bounds indices from being used on memory, arrays, or files.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Engineering principles such as bounds checking and safe pointer arithmetic stop range errors from being introduced in code.

SC-39 Process Isolation partial match

Process isolation confines damage from an out-of-bounds access to a single domain without preventing the indexing flaw.

SI-16 Memory Protection partial match

Memory protection limits the blast radius of a successful range error but does not stop the incorrect access itself.

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 enforce bounds checking and input validation that prevent range errors.

DE.CM-09 partial match
prevents

Runtime monitoring can detect adverse events triggered by out-of-bounds accesses but does not prevent them.

ID.RA-01 partial match
prevents

Vulnerability identification processes can surface range-error flaws after they exist but do not stop their introduction.

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 range errors through fuzzing and boundary-value analysis.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development lifecycle includes input validation and bounds checking that can prevent range errors.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can mandate bounds checking and safe indexing practices.

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

Secure architecture principles promote defensive coding that limits out-of-bounds access.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards directly require bounds checking and safe array access to prevent range errors.

A.8.3 Information access restriction none match
none

Information access restriction limits who can access data but does not prevent index-based range errors within allowed access.
