Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Least privilege reduces the permissions available to any process that could be subverted by injected commands.

Least functionality restricts available OS commands and interpreters, limiting the blast radius of injection.

Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect command sanitization during development.

Secure engineering principles require proper neutralization of untrusted input before command construction.

Input validation directly neutralizes or rejects special characters that would otherwise alter OS command structure.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
blocks

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly require secure coding and input handling that blocks command-injection defects, yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors and verification gaps unaddressed.

PR.PS-02 partial match

Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).
