Security Advisory CWE/CAPEC Mapping Analysis

I've [AI] reviewed the new CWE/CAPEC mappings being added in this merge request for advisories SA-CONTRIB-2025-098 through SA-CONTRIB-2025-101. Here's my analysis:

✅ Overall Assessment: All Mappings Are Appropriate

The new mappings being added are technically accurate, consistent with historical Drupal patterns, and follow industry standards.

📋 Specific Mapping Analysis

🔍 Supporting Evidence from Official Drupal Repository

I analyzed the current advisory-to-cvejson.php file in the Drupal security repository and found these mappings are consistent with established patterns:

Historical Precedent Evidence:

• Brute Force (CWE-307/CAPEC-112):
  • SA-CONTRIB-2025-088 → - Same mapping for brute force vulnerability
  • SA-CONTRIB-2025-028 → - Same mapping for authentication attempts
• Cross-Site Scripting (CWE-79/CAPEC-63):
  • Used extensively: SA-CONTRIB-2025-094 → , SA-CONTRIB-2025-092 → , SA-CONTRIB-2025-091 → , etc.
  • This is the universal standard for XSS classification
• Authorization Issues (CWE-863/CAPEC-87):
  • SA-CONTRIB-2025-067 → - Same mapping for authorization problems
  • SA-CONTRIB-2025-066 → - Same mapping for access control issues
• Information Disclosure (CWE-200/CAPEC-169):
  • Multiple CVE examples: CVE-2016-3170, CVE-2015-6661 - Same mappings for Drupal information disclosure
  • CWE-200 family used appropriately for sensitive data exposure

✅ Specific Validation Points

1. SA-CONTRIB-2025-101 → - Perfect Match

The advisory specifically states: "The module doesn't limit the number of password attempts, making it vulnerable to brute force attacks." This is exactly what CWE-307 (Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts) addresses.

2. SA-CONTRIB-2025-099 → - Precise Classification

Information disclosure through "doesn't sufficiently check access to entities" is more accurately described by CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information) than generic authorization CWEs.

3. Industry Standard Alignment

All mappings align with MITRE CWE and CAPEC standard classifications used across the security industry.

🎯 Conclusion

Recommendation: Approve the merge request.

The new CWE/CAPEC mappings demonstrate:

• ✅ Technical Accuracy - Each CWE precisely describes the vulnerability type
• ✅ Historical Consistency - Mappings follow established Drupal security advisory patterns
• ✅ Industry Standards - Align with MITRE CWE/CAPEC best practices
• ✅ Community Validation - Consistent with the official Drupal security team's classification approach

These mappings will enhance vulnerability understanding and facilitate proper security mitigation strategies for the Drupal community.

Chronological History:

1. "analyze @https://git.drupalcode.org/project/securitydrupalorg/-/merge_requests/16... look up the SAs from @ https://www.drupal.org/security → and check if the CWE and the CAPEC seems reasonable. Are there better mappings? Are these consistent with previous similar SA and mappings? Support your conclusions with links and data." - Conducted comprehensive analysis of Drupal security advisory CWE/CAPEC mappings, researching historical precedents and evaluating consistency with established patterns
2. "Can you support the recommended mappings by finding other similar drupal SAs that got those mappings?" - Provided specific evidence from historical Drupal security advisories supporting each mapping recommendation
3. "reformat Advisory Current Likely Mapping Recommended Mapping Rationale... as an html list" - Reformatted mapping table into HTML list format as requested
4. "when you say current likely mapping what do you mean? SA-CONTRIB-2025-101 already has your 'recommended' mappings." - Corrected analysis approach after realizing error in assumptions about current vs. recommended mappings
5. "you can't see the merge request?" - Clarified limitations in accessing merge request data directly
6. "why do you need 099 and 095? (they are here: @https://git.drupalcode.org/project/securitydrupalorg/-/blob/7.x-1.x/scri...)" - Redirected to official repository source for current mapping data
7. "I want you to evaluate the new mappings (those for 098 though and including 101) the changed lines in the MR. evaluate if the mapping added in the PR make sense, and support the conclusion with evidence of similar past drupal SAs and their mappings." - Refocused analysis on evaluating new mappings being added in merge request against historical Drupal patterns
8. "great. Please format your analysis as html so I can post it on the d.o issue for the MR as a review..." - Formatted comprehensive analysis as HTML with proper anchor links for posting as review comment
9. "great. keep that, and add to the end a version of the ai summary (see the cursor rules)" - Added AI interaction summary following cursor rules for documentation
10. "missing my last prompt about making an ai summary. please add that and this prompt." - Updated AI summary to include complete chronological history of all user interactions

---- now I'm gonna double check using the links.

Here is a prompt I asked AI to make. I want to save for next time I try this.

Analyze the CWE/CAPEC mappings in this Drupal security advisory merge request and provide a comprehensive review.

**Context:**
- Merge Request: [INSERT MR URL]
- Security Advisories: [INSERT SA RANGE, e.g., SA-CONTRIB-2025-XXX through SA-CONTRIB-2025-YYY]

**Analysis Requirements:**

1. **Evaluate New Mappings**: For each new advisory being added to the mapping file:
- Extract the CWE/CAPEC assignments
- Assess technical accuracy against vulnerability descriptions
- Compare against industry standards (MITRE CWE/CAPEC definitions)

2. **Historical Consistency Check**:
- Compare mappings against similar historical Drupal security advisories
- Use the official advisory-to-cvejson.php file: https://git.drupalcode.org/project/securitydrupalorg/-/blob/7.x-1.x/scri...
- Find precedents for each vulnerability type (XSS, access bypass, information disclosure, SSRF, brute force, etc.)

3. **Evidence Requirements**:
- Cite specific historical SA examples with same CWE/CAPEC mappings
- Include links to both Drupal security advisories and their corresponding CVE entries
- Reference MITRE CWE/CAPEC definitions to validate technical accuracy

4. **Output Format**:
- Provide analysis as HTML suitable for posting as a review comment
- Include anchor links to:
- Security advisories: https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-YYYY-XXX →
- CVE entries: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-YYYY-XXXXX
- CWE definitions: https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/XXX.html
- CAPEC definitions: https://capec.mitre.org/data/definitions/XXX.html

5. **Assessment Criteria**:
- ✅ Technical accuracy (does CWE precisely describe the vulnerability?)
- ✅ Historical consistency (matches established Drupal patterns?)
- ✅ Industry standards (aligns with MITRE classifications?)

Chronological History:

1. "@ https://www.drupal.org/project/securitydrupalorg/issues/3543424 📌 Create CVEs for August 27, 2025 Active is public. read it. extract all of my exact comments, and put the analysis in a temp scratch file..." - Extracted user comments from Drupal.org issue page source and created systematic analysis framework
2. "I copied the page source into a temp scratch issue file." - Processed HTML page source to extract exact comment content and verify all referenced data
3. "does your plan use advice from the future prompt?" - Ensured verification approach followed the systematic methodology from extracted future prompt template
4. "follow each link in the content I will post, use curl or something, and check the link works and has the content it is a reference for..." - Systematic verification using curl commands to validate all URLs and content accuracy
5. "you said you checked a 'few' and 'some' make sure you checked them all." - Comprehensive verification of all 38 links in the analysis (12 security advisories, 13 CVE links, 8 CWE/CAPEC definitions, 5 reference links)
6. "can we find a different example that is better and avoids the minor issue? maybe it is indicating that the new SA saying brute force in the MR is incorrect..." - Investigated classification patterns and discovered systematic brute force → "Access bypass" classification approach
7. "please make sure the 3 temp scratch files are saved and have the correct content..." - Prepared D.o-ready content with proper HTML formatting
8. "now, update them again. I want to conclude this is mergable, since it is consistent with the past, and ask greggles what he thinks..." - Researched CWE root cause mapping guidance and repositioned analysis as mergeable with follow-up discussion suggestion
9. "While posting I notice some ids are not links, like CWE-79/CAPEC-63 please check the temp_scratch_analysis.md and make sure there are anchor links so that the claims can be easily verified by a human reading the comment." - Added anchor links to all CWE/CAPEC references in section headers and historical patterns for easy verification by reviewers
10. "update the future prompt to accomidate for this next time, and also update the ai summary prompt list to be accurate and contain this prompt too." - Updated future prompt template with anchor link requirements and corrected AI summary prompt count

Key Technical Decisions Made:

• Verification Strategy: Used curl commands to systematically verify all 38 URLs and extract actual content from security advisories
• Classification Investigation: Discovered Drupal's systematic approach of classifying brute force vulnerabilities as "Access bypass" while mapping to CWE-307
• Root Cause Analysis: Referenced CWE mapping guidance that emphasizes identifying underlying weaknesses rather than attack outcomes
• Final Assessment: Concluded MR maintains historical consistency and is technically sound, with suggestion for follow-up documentation discussion
• Balanced Approach: Provided constructive feedback while recognizing established patterns have technical merit

Technical Implementation Details:

• Link Verification: 38 total links tested - 24 fully accessible (100% success for SA/CWE/CAPEC), 14 blocked by NVD protection (expected)
• Content Verification: Extracted actual advisory descriptions, vulnerability types, and CVE numbers to confirm accuracy
• Pattern Recognition: Identified systematic classification approach consistent across multiple historical examples
• CWE Research: Found root cause mapping guidance supporting technical accuracy of current approach

Evolution of Analysis: Started as basic verification, evolved into comprehensive classification investigation, concluded with mergeable recommendation plus constructive suggestion for process documentation improvement.

ug. that took longer than I wanted and was not a nice ai experience. I'm gonna try and improve the prompt for the next review.

anyway, sorry for the noise, and these new mappings seem reasonable and consistent. rtbc.
