CWE-409Improper Handling of Highly Compressed Data (Data Amplification)
The product does not handle or incorrectly handles a compressed input with a very high compression ratio that produces a large output.
An example of data amplification is a "decompression bomb," a small ZIP file that can produce a large amount of data when it is decompressed.

Cumulative inbound coverage
How completely the frameworks we cross-walk collectively cover this — the verdict is the strongest single mapping (overlapping partials are not summed); breadth shows the corroboration behind it.
Collective: mostly · 2 mapping(s) from 1 framework(s): ATT&CK 2 (mostly)
NIST 800-53 r5 controls that address this weakness (1)AI

SC-5 | Denial-of-service Protection | SC | Limits effects of data amplification from compressed or malicious inputs. |
MITRE ATT&CK techniques this weakness enables
Our own two-way CWE↔ATT&CK cross-walk — a direct mapping with no public source (the CWE→CAPEC→ATT&CK chain leaves most top weaknesses, incl. XSS and SQLi, mapped to nothing). Drafted by Grok and spot-checked by Claude Opus 4.8.
Direction: ← other covers this;
→ this covers other (F/M/P = full / mostly /
partial).
