Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-12 Session Termination good match

AC-12 directly requires automatic session termination after a defined period, structurally preventing reuse of expired session identifiers.

SC-23 Session Authenticity good match

Requires protection of session authenticity, which directly stops an attacker from using a stolen or fixed session identifier after authentication.

AC-3 Access Enforcement partial match

Enforces that only properly authorized (i.e., freshly authenticated) sessions can access resources, making a pre-existing fixed session ID unusable.

IA-11 Re-authentication partial match

Forces re-authentication under defined conditions, which should result in issuance of a fresh session identifier and invalidation of any prior one.

PR.AA-01 partial match

blocks

Credential lifecycle management directly includes enforcing session expiration to prevent reuse.

PR.AA-03 partial match

blocks

Authentication mechanisms can incorporate session timeout checks but do not inherently address expiration policy.

PR.AA-04 partial match

blocks

Protecting and verifying identity assertions encompasses secure handling and regeneration of session tokens.

PR.AA-05 partial match

blocks

Authorization policy enforcement and review covers terminating stale sessions to limit access scope.

PR.PS-01 partial match

blocks

Configuration baselines can enforce session regeneration and timeout settings that block fixation.
