Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match
prevent

Directly enforces that state-changing requests include valid authorization artifacts (e.g., nonces) before allowing settings updates or script injection.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Requires validation of all inputs, including CSRF tokens/nonces on the lastfm_albums_artwork.php endpoint, blocking forged requests.

SC-23 Session Authenticity partial match
prevent

Ensures session authenticity so that requests lacking proper session-bound tokens cannot alter plugin configuration.

A.8.23 Web filtering partial match
mitigates

By denying access to phishing or malicious sites, the control lowers the likelihood that a user will be tricked into submitting a forged request that performs an unintended action on another site.
