AC-3 Access Enforcement partial match

Enforces authorization checks on the actual resource accessed, blocking unauthorized files even when a malicious path is supplied.

SI-10 Information Input Validation partial match

Input validation directly rejects or sanitizes untrusted path strings before they reach filesystem operations.
