+ Time of Introduction
  • Architecture and Design
  • Implementation
+ Applicable Platforms

Languages

.NET

+ Common Consequences
ScopeEffect
Integrity

Technical Impact: Unexpected state

Unchecked input leads to cross-site scripting, process control, and SQL injection vulnerabilities, among others.

+ Potential Mitigations

Phase: Architecture and Design

Use the ASP.NET validation framework to check all program input before it is processed by the application. Example uses of the validation framework include checking to ensure that:

  2. Boolean values are only "T" or "F"

  3. Free-form strings are of a reasonable length and composition
