Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly neutralizes path sequences so the traversal cannot be introduced or exploited.

AC-3 Access Enforcement partial match

Enforces access authorizations on the resulting pathname, blocking traversal attempts from succeeding.

AC-4 Information Flow Enforcement partial match

Enforces information flow rules that stop unauthorized directory escapes via crafted paths.

AC-6 Least Privilege partial match

Least privilege reduces the impact of any successful traversal by limiting accessible resources.

PR.PS-06 partial match
blocks

Secure SDLC practices directly require input validation and path sanitization that neutralize traversal sequences.
