CWE-554: ASP.NET Misconfiguration: Not Using Input Validation Framework
ASP.NET Misconfiguration: Not Using Input Validation Framework represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
Executive Impact
- Integrity: Unexpected State: Unchecked input leads to cross-site scripting, process control, and SQL injection vulnerabilities, among others.
Developer Pattern
CWE-554 is the kind of defect developers can usually prevent with explicit validation, safer framework defaults, and tests that exercise hostile input or unsafe state transitions.
Automation confidence
high confidence from CWE-554, 4.20.
Generated from the cited source records. This long-tail analysis has not been individually reviewed by a named human.
Official CWE Definition
CWE-554: ASP.NET Misconfiguration: Not Using Input Validation Framework
The ASP.NET application does not use an input validation framework.
Developer And Remediation Guidance
How teams prevent and detect this weakness
Causes
- Missing validation
- Unsafe defaults
- Insufficient authorization or memory-safety invariant
Remediation
- 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: Phone number fields contain only valid characters in phone numbers Boolean values are only "T" or "F" Free-form strings are of a reasonable length and composition
Detection
- Code review
- SAST
- DAST
- Focused regression tests
