Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Associating and preserving security attributes such as original source identity prevents the loss of provenance that creates the confused deputy.

Information flow enforcement requires preserving and checking source attributes before forwarding requests outside the trust boundary.

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

Access enforcement directly stops a component from acting on forwarded requests without verifying original source authorizations.

Boundary protection limits and inspects external forwarding, reducing the ability of an intermediary to act as an unintended proxy.

prevents

Access-control rules can limit which upstream identities may cause the product to act on their behalf, reducing confused-deputy risk.

prevents

Proper identity management ensures the original requester identity is preserved and validated before the product forwards requests.

degrades

Explicit access-rights assignment can restrict the product’s ability to act as an unintended proxy for external actors.

prevents

Operational threat data describing SSRF campaigns can be used to tighten outbound-request allow-lists and detection rules before attackers exploit them.

degrades

Privileged-access controls limit the rights the product may exercise on behalf of upstream callers, mitigating confused-deputy abuse.

degrades

Network-security controls can enforce source validation and prevent the product from blindly proxying traffic to external actors.
