Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing neutralization of directives in saved code artifacts.

Input validation directly stops unneutralized directives from being inserted into static code resources.

Engineering principles include secure input handling and neutralization requirements that structurally avoid static injection.

Secure SDLC practices directly require input neutralization to block static code injection into templates, configs, or libraries.

finds

Security testing in development and acceptance will detect static code injection but does not prevent it at the source.

prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and sanitization that directly prevents static code injection.

prevents

Application security requirements include rules for neutralizing untrusted input before it is stored in executable resources.

prevents

Secure architecture principles reduce injection surfaces but do not prescribe the specific neutralization techniques.

prevents

Secure coding explicitly requires proper neutralization of directives in templates, libraries and configuration files.

mitigates

Change management can catch unsafe code changes but does not enforce input neutralization.
