Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover LDAP injection flaws through static analysis or crafted test cases.
Input validation directly stops untrusted data from reaching an LDAP query builder without neutralization of special characters.
Secure engineering principles require safe query construction and escaping that structurally prevents LDAP injection.

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 require input neutralization and query parameterization to prevent LDAP injection.

Security testing in development catches LDAP injection via dynamic analysis or fuzzing, but does not prevent it at the source.
Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and query construction practices that directly prevent LDAP injection.
Application security requirements include explicit rules for safe construction of directory queries, mitigating LDAP injection.
Secure coding standards require proper neutralization of LDAP special characters, directly eliminating this weakness.
Secure architecture principles encourage safe query interfaces but do not prescribe the specific coding controls needed for LDAP injection.
Information access restriction limits who can query LDAP but does not address how queries are built.
