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.
Requiring user re-entry of credentials for sensitive actions prevents automated forgery of requests without active user participation.
Requiring identifiable owners for portable devices reduces the attack surface for unrestricted uploads of dangerous file types via anonymous media.
Security testing regimens explicitly include checks for missing or ineffective anti-CSRF protections in web applications.
Dangerous file uploads can be detonated in the chamber to determine malice before any production write or execution occurs.
Prevents unrestricted writing of arbitrary or malicious firmware by keeping hardware write-protect enabled except under tightly controlled manual procedures.
Scans files from external sources on download/open/execute, blocking unrestricted uploads of dangerous file types.
Detects anomalous request patterns consistent with cross-site request forgery.
