SI-15 Information Output Filtering good match
prevent

Requires filtering of information outputs to remove or encode dangerous content such as scripts, blocking reflected XSS from reaching the victim's browser.

SI-3 Malicious Code Protection partial match
preventdetect

Provides mechanisms to detect and block malicious code (including script-based XSS payloads) at system boundaries or via content inspection.
