Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Remediating the known flaw by updating PeakShops to version 1.5.9 directly fixes the improper filename control in PHP include/require statements.

prevent

Validating and sanitizing untrusted filename inputs to PHP include/require functions prevents arbitrary local file inclusion exploitation.

prevent

Enforcing secure PHP configuration settings like open_basedir restrictions and disabling allow_url_include limits the scope of file inclusion attacks.
