Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Requiring confidentiality and integrity protection for transmitted data reduces exposure of sensitive query parameters even though the control does not forbid placing secrets in URLs.

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.
Secure SDLC practices directly prevent embedding sensitive data in query strings as part of input-handling and data-flow design.
HTTPS encryption protects query strings in transit but does not address the root design flaw of placing sensitive data in URLs.

Security testing can detect sensitive data leakage via query strings.
DLP solutions can detect and block sensitive data in URLs.
Network security controls can enforce HTTPS and block sensitive data in URLs.
Application security requirements should mandate avoiding sensitive data in query strings.
Secure architecture principles discourage exposing sensitive data in URLs.
Secure coding standards directly prohibit placing secrets in query parameters.
