NIST 800-53 r5 controls PROPOSED for this weakness (6)AI-assisted

These are model PROPOSALS, not graded mappings. They come from controls_to_cwe_proposals, which carries no grade field at all; across the CWE pages 1,540 of 1,722 such associations (89%) have never been graded by anything. The heading said “address” until 2026-09-29, which asserted a relationship the data does not carry. Graded cross-walks are on the framework map, not here.

Control Title Family Why it addresses this CWE
IR-1Policy and ProceduresIRRequires reporting and escalation of error conditions and incidents per documented procedures.
IR-3Incident Response TestingIRIR testing would expose missing error reporting that prevents timely incident detection and response.
IR-7Incident Response AssistanceIROffers direct support for reporting incidents, addressing the failure to report error conditions or security events.
AU-5Response to Audit Logging Process FailuresAUMandates alerting on audit failures, directly providing the missing report of the error condition.
CA-7Continuous MonitoringCAReporting the security and privacy status to organizational officials ensures monitoring and assessment results are communicated rather than omitted.
PM-31Continuous Monitoring StrategyPMIncludes explicit reporting of security status and analysis results, addressing missing reports of error or monitoring conditions.
