V5.1.1

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Requires validation of information inputs, which structurally stops reliance on untrusted file names or extensions by forcing content-based checks.

SI-3 Malicious Code Protection good match

Malicious-code protection at entry points blocks dangerous file types from being accepted and executed.

CM-7 Least Functionality partial match

Least functionality restricts the file types and automatic processing capabilities the system will accept.

SC-18 Mobile Code partial match

Mobile-code controls define, authorize, and block unacceptable uploaded code before automatic processing occurs.

PR.PS-01 partial match

blocks

Hardened configuration baselines can enforce allowed file types and processing rules.

PR.PS-05 partial match

blocks

Restricting execution of unauthorized software directly blocks dangerous uploaded files from running.

PR.PS-06 partial match

blocks

Secure SDLC practices directly require content-based validation instead of trusting file extensions for externally supplied files.
