Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly enforces authorization checks on database operations so authenticated users cannot perform the unauthorized modifications that lead to RCE.

prevent

Limits privileges of authenticated accounts to only those required, preventing the excessive database modification rights exploited by the CVE.

prevent

Restricts logical access to make changes (including database content) to only authorized roles, blocking the exact vector used for RCE.
