Mitigating Controls
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.8.25 mandates security in the SDLC including secure coding, requirements, checkpoints, testing and developer training that can catch and stop incorrect behavior ordering before it reaches production, but this is only a minority slice of the weakness class (most instances arise from implementation errors not governed by process mandates).
Secure system architecture and engineering principles require proper ordering of design and implementation steps.
Secure coding standards enforce correct execution order of security-critical operations.
Security testing can detect ordering flaws but does not prevent them during development.
Hardening callouts derived
DISA STIG baselines are authored against specific weaknesses. Where this CVE cites a broad weakness class, the mapping is not asserted at that abstraction (owner ruling, 2026-09-25: grade only at Base and below), so no rule is shown here rather than a rule shown against the wrong grain.
- No fine-grained STIG row for CWE-696, a class-level weakness, and none of its children carries one either.
