Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

SI-10 directly enforces validation of inputs to the Theasys plugin, preventing the storage of malicious XSS payloads from unauthenticated CSRF attacks.

SI-15 Information Output Filtering good match
prevent

SI-15 requires filtering of outputs when rendering stored content from the Theasys plugin, neutralizing XSS scripts before execution in users' browsers.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match
prevent

SI-2 mandates timely remediation of the specific stored XSS flaw in Theasys plugin versions through n/a to <=1.0.1, eliminating the vulnerability at its root.
