Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Enforces access authorizations so externally supplied references cannot reach resources outside the intended sphere.

Controls information flow between security domains, blocking resolution of external references to unintended spheres.

Validates information inputs, directly stopping externally controlled names or references from being accepted.

Monitors and controls boundary communications, limiting the ability of external references to reach protected resources.

finds

Security testing can detect instances of the weakness but does not prevent it at design or coding time.

prevents

Operational threat data describing SSRF campaigns can be used to tighten outbound-request allow-lists and detection rules before attackers exploit them.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates validation of all external references to prevent uncontrolled resource access.

prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against externally supplied resource identifiers.

prevents

Secure architecture principles reduce the attack surface for externally controlled references but do not prescribe specific validation rules.

prevents

Secure coding standards require input validation and canonicalization to block externally controlled resource references.
