Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Directly requires validation and neutralization of untrusted input before it is reflected in web page output, blocking the CWE-79 reflected XSS vector in Jobify.

SI-15 Information Output Filtering partial match
prevent

Requires filtering of information output from the system, which can remove or encode script content that would otherwise be reflected to victims.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match
prevent

Mandates timely remediation of known flaws such as the Jobify <=4.3.0 XSS vulnerability via patch application, eliminating the root cause.
