Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Directly prevents SQL injection in /TracerStudy/modal_view.php by requiring validation and sanitization of user-supplied inputs before database query construction.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match
prevent

Mandates identification, reporting, and correction of the specific SQL injection flaw in CVE-2026-26694 through systematic flaw remediation processes.

AC-6 Least Privilege partial match
prevent

Limits the impact of successful SQL injection exploitation by enforcing least privilege on the application's database access accounts.
