Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.

Least functionality restricts the file types and automatic processing capabilities the system will accept.

Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.

Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

SC-18 Mobile Code partial match

Mobile-code controls define, authorize, and block unacceptable uploaded code before automatic processing occurs.

Input validation directly stops untrusted data from being used to construct executable code without neutralization.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).

PR.PS-01 partial match
prevents

Hardened configuration baselines can enforce allowed file types and processing rules.

PR.PS-05 partial match
prevents

Restricting execution of unauthorized software directly blocks dangerous uploaded files from running.

PR.DS-10 none match
prevents

PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.
