Posted similarity analysis above between RHEL 9 and Amazon Linux 2023, as a lot of the STIGs are the same, just written slightly differently. I think it is all Fedora based, would be nice if all the common ones were 100% similarity, but not the case when things are hand jammed.

[bordencastle]

If you wanted to do the same analysis. Replace "rhel9" and "amazonlinux" with DISA STIG checklists converted to CSV.

import pandas as pd
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer
from sklearn.metrics.pairwise import cosine_similarity

# Load CSVs
al = pd.read_csv("amazonlinux")
rhel = pd.read_csv("rhel9")

# TF-IDF on descriptions
vectorizer = TfidfVectorizer(stop_words='english')
tfidf_al = vectorizer.fit_transform(al['Fix Text'].astype(str))
tfidf_rhel = vectorizer.transform(rhel['Fix Text'].astype(str))

# Compute similarity
sim_matrix = cosine_similarity(tfidf_al, tfidf_rhel)

crosswalk = []

for i, al_row in al.iterrows():
    best_idx = sim_matrix[i].argmax()
    crosswalk.append({
        'AL2023 ID': al_row['STIG ID'],
        'AL2023 Fix Text': al_row['Fix Text'],
        'RHEL9 ID': rhel.iloc[best_idx]['STIG ID'],
        'RHEL9 Fix Text': rhel.iloc[best_idx]['Fix Text'],
        'Similarity': sim_matrix[i][best_idx]
    })

df_crosswalk = pd.DataFrame(crosswalk)
df_crosswalk.to_csv("al2023_rhel9_crosswalk.csv", index=False)

I took that same approach to generate this....

I might be able to help more if guided in the right direction....
https://github.com/bordencastleadmin/amazonlinuxcontent/blob/master/controls/stig_al2023.yml

But, i copied in the highest similarity to RHEL 9 and created placeholders with "pending" status for where similarities do not exist.
