V5.3.2
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Enforces the intended directory access authorizations that path traversal would otherwise bypass.
Input validation directly neutralizes '../' sequences in externally-supplied pathnames before they are resolved.
Least privilege reduces the impact of any unauthorized file access obtained via traversal.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
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.
Secure SDLC practices directly require input validation and path sanitization that prevent ../ traversal.
Patching/maintenance can remediate known path-traversal flaws in deployed software (partial prevention of exploitability) but does nothing to stop the coding defect from being introduced in the first place.
PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure coding standards require neutralizing ../ sequences and canonicalizing paths before file operations.
Security testing in development catches path-traversal flaws before release.
Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path canonicalization that directly block ../ traversal.
Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against path traversal in file-handling functions.
Secure architecture principles reduce attack surface but do not prescribe the specific coding fix.
Information access restriction limits which files can be reached, mitigating impact of traversal.
