Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Secure configuration settings can disable external entity processing in XML parsers.

Developer testing can discover XXE flaws through targeted XML parsing tests.

Input validation directly stops unneutralized XML metacharacters from reaching the parser.

finds

Security testing catches XML injection during development but does not itself implement the fix.

finds

Vulnerability management identifies and patches XML libraries with unsafe default entity settings.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
finds

Logging can record injection attempts for detection but does not prevent the weakness.

finds

Monitoring can detect exploitation but provides no preventive control over XML handling.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevent XML injection.

prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for defenses against injection flaws including XML.
