Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match
prevent

Remediating the specific flaw in the WPCHURCH plugin's improper filename control for PHP include/require directly eliminates the local file inclusion vulnerability.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Validating user-supplied filenames before use in PHP include/require statements prevents path traversal and arbitrary local file inclusion attacks.

CM-6 Configuration Settings partial match
prevent

Configuring PHP settings such as open_basedir restricts the directories accessible via include/require, limiting the impact of local file inclusion even if input validation fails.
