Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Directly requires validation of the redirect URL retrieved from the untrusted cookie before it is used as a post-login target.

AC-4 Information Flow Enforcement good match
prevent

Enforces information-flow rules that restrict redirect targets to only validated, same-origin destinations.

SI-15 Information Output Filtering partial match
prevent

Filters outbound redirect URLs to block untrusted external locations before the response is sent.
