DE.CM-05
Does your organization have controls in place to detect unauthorized mobile code execution within your environment?
Explanation
Mobile code (JavaScript, ActiveX, Flash, etc.) can introduce security risks when executed without proper validation or authorization. Detection mechanisms should identify when unauthorized mobile code attempts to run on endpoints, servers, or within applications. This could include web application firewalls, endpoint protection solutions, or application whitelisting tools that can identify and block unauthorized code execution. Evidence could include logs from security tools showing detection of unauthorized mobile code execution attempts, configuration documentation for mobile code restrictions, or reports from security monitoring systems that specifically track mobile code execution.
