SC-23 enforces session authenticity mechanisms like CSRF tokens, directly preventing forged requests that store XSS payloads in the Login-box plugin.
SI-10 requires validation of information inputs, blocking malicious XSS payloads from being stored via the CSRF vulnerability in the plugin.
SI-15 mandates output filtering to neutralize stored XSS payloads executed when users view affected Login-box content.
