Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

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.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require mitigations such as rel="noopener" on external links.

Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can detect missing protections on external links through automated or manual checks.

A.8.23 Web filtering partial match
degrades

Web filtering can block or warn on links to untrusted external domains, reducing the attack surface for window.opener abuse.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development lifecycle processes require design and code reviews that should identify missing rel="noopener" or target="_blank" mitigations.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can mandate explicit handling of external links and window.opener protections.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
prevents

Secure architecture principles include isolation of untrusted content and safe navigation patterns that mitigate opener-based attacks.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards directly require the use of rel="noopener noreferrer" on external links, eliminating the weakness.
