Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
SI-10 directly prevents unrestricted file uploads by requiring validation of the portraitFile argument for type, size, and content in SysFileController.java.
SI-9 mitigates the vulnerability by enforcing restrictions on dangerous file types and inputs manipulated via the portraitFile parameter.
SI-3 protects against exploitation of unrestricted uploads by scanning files for malicious code before processing or execution.
