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.

A.8.23 Web filtering partial match
mitigates

By denying access to phishing or malicious sites, the control lowers the likelihood that a user will be tricked into submitting a forged request that performs an unintended action on another site.
