NIST 800-53 r5 controls PROPOSED for this weakness (2)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
`SC-8`	Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity	SC	graded mostly Enforcing confidentiality on transmitted sensitive cookies requires the Secure attribute, preventing exposure on insecure channels.
`SC-23`	Session Authenticity	SC	Forces the Secure flag on session cookies, preventing their transmission over unauthenticated HTTP channels.
