Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly checks and rejects untrusted redirect targets before they are used in a response.

AC-4 Information Flow Enforcement partial match

Information flow enforcement can restrict redirects to only approved/trusted destinations, stopping untrusted user-supplied URLs from being followed.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require input validation and untrusted-redirect controls that prevent CWE-601.

A.8.23 Web filtering partial match
mitigates

Preventing access to attacker-controlled or malicious sites stops users from being redirected to untrusted locations via open-redirect or phishing links.
