Affected Assets

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Requires validation of user-supplied filenames prior to use in PHP include/require statements, directly preventing local file inclusion by rejecting malicious paths.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match
prevent

Mandates timely identification, reporting, and patching of the specific flaw in Eona theme versions through 1.3, eliminating the vulnerability.

SI-9 Information Input Restrictions partial match
prevent

Enforces restrictions on filename inputs to the PHP code, such as whitelisting allowed paths, to limit exploitation of improper filename controls.
