Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Enforces the access control policy that defines permissions on resources, thereby stopping incorrect assignments from remaining exploitable.

Directly requires assignment of only the minimum necessary permissions, preventing overly broad grants on critical resources.

Proper implementation of session authenticity requires marking sensitive session cookies HttpOnly so that client scripts cannot access them.

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-05 full match
prevents

Directly requires defining, enforcing, and reviewing access permissions and least privilege on resources.

PR.PS-01 mostly match
prevents

Hardened baselines and configuration management explicitly include correct permission settings for critical resources.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Broad SDLC practices catch cookie-handling defects via standards/testing (mostly forward) yet remain too general to guarantee this narrow flag setting is always enforced (partial reverse).

PR.AT-02 partial match
prevents

Role-based training can reduce the chance developers introduce missing HttpOnly flags but supplies no enforcement or detection, leaving essentially all of the implementation flaw's risk intact.

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.

prevents

By requiring owners to determine and document the exact permissions needed for each asset, the control reduces the likelihood that default or overly permissive file and resource permissions will be left in place.

prevents

Documented provisioning and revocation procedures reduce the chance that critical resources retain overly permissive default or leftover permissions after personnel changes.

prevents

Documented authorization, expiry rules, and audit logging of privileged accounts make it harder for critical resources to retain overly permissive or stale permission assignments.

finds

Security testing can detect missing HttpOnly flags but does not prevent the weakness.

prevents

Requiring explicit configuration of access controls and permissions for files, applications and services counters the assignment of overly permissive default or incorrect file-system rights.

prevents

Enforcing differentiated permissions on the source-code repository and program listings stops the assignment of overly broad default or inherited permissions to critical resources.
