Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly requires validation and sanitization of untrusted input to block HTML/script injection, addressing the root cause of CWE-80 in the Remote Development feature.

AC-17 Remote Access partial match
prevent

Requires authorization, encryption, and usage restrictions for remote access sessions, limiting exposure of the vulnerable Remote Development feature.

prevent

Enforces least functionality by disabling or restricting the Remote Development feature unless explicitly required, reducing the attack surface for HTML injection.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require output encoding and input validation that prevent basic XSS.

detects

Security testing in development catches unneutralized script tags before release.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevent basic XSS.

prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for neutralization of script-related HTML tags.

prevents

Secure coding standards require proper escaping of <, >, & to block XSS.

none

Web filtering can block some reflected XSS payloads at the network edge.
