Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match
prevent

Directly requires timely patching of Chrome to eliminate the WebAppInstalls UI flaw before exploitation.

SC-18 Mobile Code partial match
prevent

Restricts mobile code (crafted HTML/JS) that can trigger the UI spoofing condition in WebAppInstalls.

CM-6 Configuration Settings partial match
prevent

Enforces secure browser configuration settings that limit exposure to the vulnerable WebAppInstalls feature.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly address design and implementation of accurate, non-spoofable UI elements.

PR.AT-01 partial match
prevents

User awareness training helps people recognize and avoid harm from UI misrepresentation such as phishing, but does not prevent the flaw itself.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
detects

Security testing can detect UI misrepresentation vulnerabilities before deployment.

A.6.3 Information security awareness, education and training partial match
prevents

Security awareness training can teach users to recognize UI misrepresentation and phishing attempts.

A.8.23 Web filtering partial match
mitigates

Web filtering can block known phishing sites that exploit UI misrepresentation.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development lifecycle includes UI/UX security requirements that can prevent misrepresentation of critical information.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can mandate proper display and validation of critical information in the UI.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding practices can prevent UI flaws that obscure or spoof critical information.
