Affected Assets

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Requires validation of all inputs to the farazsms plugin before web page generation, directly blocking the unsanitized reflected parameters that enable the CWE-79 XSS.

SI-15 Information Output Filtering good match
prevent

Mandates filtering or encoding of all outputs returned by the plugin, neutralizing malicious scripts before they reach the victim's browser in reflected XSS responses.

AC-4 Information Flow Enforcement partial match
prevent

Enforces information flow rules that can restrict untrusted user-supplied data from being directly inserted into plugin-generated web responses.
