Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match

Enforcing approved authorizations on every access request structurally stops a user-controlled key from reaching another user's data.

AC-24 Access Control Decisions good match

Requiring explicit access-control decisions on each request blocks unauthorized key-driven access.

SI-15 Information Output Filtering good match

Output filtering/validation directly stops unneutralized formula elements from being written into CSV files.

AC-6 Least Privilege partial match

Least-privilege restrictions limit the scope of data reachable even if a key check is bypassed.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.AA-05 partial match
blocks

Enforcing authorization policy and least privilege directly blocks user-controlled key tampering that bypasses access checks.

PR.IR-01 partial match
blocks

Logical access controls prevent unauthorized data access that results from missing authorization checks on object references.

PR.PS-06 partial match
blocks

Secure SDLC practices directly require output neutralization for untrusted CSV content to block formula injection.

A.5.14 Information transfer partial match
removes
A.5.15 Access control partial match
blocks

A.5.15 directly requires defining and implementing access control rules (including authorization, need-to-know, role-based restrictions, formal requests, and consistency with classification) that stop one user from reaching another's data via a tampered key; the bounded remainder is dynamic or application-specific authorization logic (cross-referenced to 8.26) that may still allow bypass if those downstream rules are flawed.

A.5.16 Identity management partial match
removes
A.5.17 Authentication information partial match
removes
A.5.18 Access rights partial match

Managing access rights includes ensuring users can only access their own records and not bypass authorization by altering identifiers.
