Description

I started to look at creating a mapping between CAPEC and ASVS 5.0, but then I realized that it is OpenCRE.
The challenge is that the current mapping is between CAPEC and ASVS 4.0.
Elar created a mapping between ASVS 4 and 5 https://asvs.dev/mapping_v4.0.3_to_v5.0.0.html

I went through it, requirement for requirement and it seems legit.

He has a yaml as well: https://github.com/OWASP/ASVS/blob/master/5.0/mappings/mapping_v4.0.3_to_v5.0.0.yml

Could this make a migration possible perhaps?

There is an explanation for the expressions in the file as well: https://asvs.dev/Mappings/

There is a CWE mapping as well: https://github.com/OWASP/ASVS/blob/master/5.0/mappings/v5.0.be_cwe_mapping.json but it looks a bit strange at the end there. Not sure whether it is correct.
