Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly requires validation of command-line arguments and inputs to block argument injection (CWE-88) that leads to arbitrary command execution.

prevent

Enforces least privilege so a high-privileged local account cannot escalate to root even if argument injection succeeds.

prevent

Requires timely patching of the identified argument-injection flaw in DD OS releases before exploitation occurs.

prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require proper input validation and command construction to prevent argument injection.

detects

Security testing can detect argument injection but does not prevent it at the source.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and command construction practices that directly prevent argument injection.

prevents

Application security requirements include explicit rules for safe command-line argument handling and escaping.

prevents

Secure architecture principles discourage unsafe command invocation patterns and favor safer APIs.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly require proper neutralization of command arguments, directly eliminating CWE-88.

none

Change management can catch unsafe command patterns during reviews but is not a direct mitigation.
