Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match

Access Enforcement requires authorizations to be enforced by the system rather than by trusting client-supplied cookie values.

SC-23 Session Authenticity good match

Session Authenticity directly requires protecting the integrity and authenticity of session tokens such as cookies, eliminating blind reliance on them.

SC-8 Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity partial match

Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity mandates cryptographic or equivalent protection for data in transit, which covers cookie values exchanged over HTTP.

SI-7 Software, Firmware, and Information Integrity partial match

Software, Firmware, and Information Integrity can detect unauthorized modification of cookie-based data after the fact via integrity verification.

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.AA-04 full match
prevents

Cookies commonly carry identity assertions; requiring their protection, conveyance, and verification directly eliminates the weakness.

PR.AA-03 mostly match
prevents

Strong authentication mechanisms reduce reliance on unvalidated cookies for identity and access decisions.

PR.DS-02 mostly match
prevents

Cryptographic integrity for data-in-transit directly mitigates tampering of cookies sent over the network.

PR.AA-05 partial match
prevents

Enforcing access policy and least privilege limits damage from cookie misuse but does not address cookie validation itself.

PR.DS-01 partial match
prevents

Integrity protections for data-at-rest can apply to cookie stores but do not cover validation during use.

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.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can detect cookie-validation flaws but does not itself implement the required controls.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can mandate cookie validation, integrity protection, and server-side session handling.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding practices directly eliminate reliance on unvalidated cookies by requiring proper integrity checks and server-side verification.

A.8.5 Secure authentication partial match
prevents

Secure authentication mechanisms can enforce server-side validation and integrity checks that prevent reliance on untrusted cookies.
