Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation partial match

Developer testing and static analysis can discover missing neutralization of template directives.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Security engineering principles require use of safe templating APIs and proper escaping of external input.

SI-10 Information Input Validation partial match

Input validation rejects or sanitizes untrusted data before it reaches the template engine, stopping injection of special syntax.
