Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and static analysis can discover missing filename restrictions before deployment.

Validating all inputs before they reach include/require statements directly stops untrusted filenames from being used.

Enforcing access authorizations on resources limits what an included file can reach even if a bad name is supplied.

Information-flow rules can block the loading of external or unauthorized files into the PHP process.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices such as input validation and allow-listing of include paths directly prevent the weakness.

PR.AA-05 partial match
prevents

Enforced authorization boundaries limit damage from an incorrectly resolved reference.

PR.IR-01 partial match
prevents

Logical segmentation and access controls reduce the chance an out-of-sphere resolution succeeds.

PR.PS-01 partial match
prevents

Hardened runtime configuration (e.g., allow_url_include=off) directly blocks RFI even if code is flawed.

PR.PS-05 partial match
prevents

Execution restrictions can prevent the remote payload from running, while eliminating the weakness reduces the need for such controls.

finds

Security testing can detect RFI but does not prevent the weakness by itself.

degrades

Network segmentation and routing policies reduce the chance that a mis-resolved name leads to an unintended external resource.

degrades

Segregated networks limit the blast radius when a name or reference resolves outside the intended control sphere.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and safe include/require patterns that directly prevent remote file inclusion.

prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection and unsafe file operations.

prevents

Secure architecture principles reduce attack surface but do not specifically address dynamic file inclusion.
