Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Awareness training educates users on avoiding untrusted links and actions that can be exploited via CSRF.
Penetration testing submits XSS payloads to web applications, detecting cross-site scripting flaws for subsequent remediation.
Requiring user re-entry of credentials for sensitive actions prevents automated forgery of requests without active user participation.
Security testing regimens explicitly include checks for missing or ineffective anti-CSRF protections in web applications.
Validates web inputs to reject script-related content that could produce XSS.
Output validation against expected content can reject or sanitize script content in generated web pages, reducing XSS exploitability.
Detects anomalous request patterns consistent with cross-site request forgery.
