Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Directly prevents LFI exploitation by validating user inputs to block path traversal and arbitrary local file inclusion leading to RCE.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match
prevent

Mitigates the specific LFI vulnerability through timely identification, patching, and remediation of the flaw in the Organization Portal System.

AC-3 Access Enforcement partial match
prevent

Enforces logical access controls to restrict unauthorized reading of local files that could be exploited via the LFI vulnerability.
