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.
Secure SDLC practices directly require sanitized error handling to prevent sensitive data disclosure.

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid exposing sensitive data in errors.
Security testing can detect error messages that leak sensitive information.
Logging policy can require suppression of sensitive data in error messages.
Secure SDLC mandates error-handling rules that avoid leaking sensitive information.
Application security requirements can specify safe error messaging.
Secure architecture principles include proper exception handling.
