Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and static analysis can discover missing filename restrictions before deployment.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Validating all inputs before they reach include/require statements directly stops untrusted filenames from being used.

AC-3 Access Enforcement partial match

Enforcing access authorizations on resources limits what an included file can reach even if a bad name is supplied.

AC-4 Information Flow Enforcement partial match

Information-flow rules can block the loading of external or unauthorized files into the PHP process.

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.

PR.PS-01 partial match
blocks

Hardened runtime configuration (e.g., allow_url_include=off) directly blocks RFI even if code is flawed.

PR.PS-05 partial match
blocks

Execution restrictions can prevent the remote payload from running, while eliminating the weakness reduces the need for such controls.

PR.PS-06 partial match
blocks

Secure SDLC practices such as input validation and allow-listing of include paths directly prevent the weakness.
