Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match
prevent

Directly enforces access control policy on the media library module, blocking the permission bypass before unauthorized actions succeed.

AC-6 Least Privilege partial match
prevent

Limits privileges assigned to the media library module so that even a bypassed permission cannot reach high-impact operations affecting availability.

AC-25 Reference Monitor minimal match
prevent

Provides a tamper-resistant reference monitor that can still mediate every access request to the media library despite flawed permission checks.
