Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-3 Access Enforcement partial match

Access enforcement requires verifying that state-changing requests originate from the authenticated user rather than a forged cross-site source.

SC-23 Session Authenticity partial match

Protecting session authenticity prevents attackers from replaying or forging authenticated requests via the victim's browser.
