CVE-2023-50722

Awareness training educates users on avoiding untrusted links and actions that can be exploited via CSRF.

Penetration testing submits XSS payloads to web applications, detecting cross-site scripting flaws for subsequent remediation.

Requiring user re-entry of credentials for sensitive actions prevents automated forgery of requests without active user participation.

Security testing regimens explicitly include checks for missing or ineffective anti-CSRF protections in web applications.

Validates web inputs to reject script-related content that could produce XSS.

Output validation against expected content can reject or sanitize script content in generated web pages, reducing XSS exploitability.

Detects anomalous request patterns consistent with cross-site request forgery.

Patching and EOL replacement can remediate known XSS instances in libraries or frameworks (partial) but do nothing to enforce input neutralization in application code (none).

Knowledge exchange on emerging attack techniques and patches reduces the likelihood that cross-site scripting flaws remain unaddressed in deployed applications.

Operational indicators of compromise for web-application attacks can be incorporated into WAF or input-filtering rules, lowering the likelihood that unsanitized data reaches the browser.

By denying access to phishing or malicious sites, the control lowers the likelihood that a user will be tricked into submitting a forged request that performs an unintended action on another site.

Requiring language-specific secure-coding standards and automated scanning during the SDLC catches missing output encoding or improper neutralization of untrusted data before the software reaches production.

Secure-coding standards, SAST scans and removal of insecure code samples together eliminate the failure to neutralize script content that produces cross-site scripting flaws.
