Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly requires validation of redirect URL parameters to ensure they only target trusted domains, blocking the open redirect used in this phishing attack.
Enforces information flow rules that can restrict redirects to an approved set of destinations, limiting the attacker's ability to spoof trusted URLs.
Boundary protection mechanisms such as WAF rules or redirect filters at network/application edges can inspect and block crafted redirect requests before they reach the victim.
