Control response
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly requires validation of all input (including the HTTP Host header) on the affected authentication endpoints before server-side processing occurs.
Boundary-protection devices such as WAFs can be configured to inspect and drop requests containing malicious or unexpected Host headers before they reach the vulnerable endpoints.
Continuous monitoring of inbound HTTP traffic can detect anomalous or injected Host-header values targeting the listed authentication paths.

Security testing catches header-injection issues before release, covering most of the weakness.
Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevents header-injection flaws.
Application security requirements explicitly call for neutralizing untrusted data in HTTP headers.
Secure architecture principles reduce injection surfaces but do not prescribe header-specific controls.
Secure coding standards require proper escaping or rejection of scripting syntax in HTTP headers.
