Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-4 Information Flow Enforcement partial match

Information flow enforcement can restrict which destinations the server is allowed to contact on behalf of users.

SC-7 Boundary Protection partial match

Boundary protection limits the network reach of server-initiated requests even if SSRF occurs.

SI-10 Information Input Validation partial match

Input validation directly stops untrusted URLs from being accepted and fetched without destination checks.
