CVE-2023-44204

Security testing and developer training directly verify and enforce proper input validation, reducing exploitability of injection and malformed-data weaknesses.

Security testing and evaluation at multiple SDLC stages directly detects missing or flawed input validation, with the required remediation process ensuring fixes are applied.

Directly implements checks on information inputs to reject invalid data before processing.

Spam protection mechanisms perform filtering and detection on inbound/outbound messages, directly compensating for missing or weak input validation of unsolicited content.

Secure SDLC practices directly require syntactic input validation to prevent malformed data handling.

A.8.25 mandates secure SDLC practices including secure coding guidelines, security requirements, checkpoints, testing (scans/penetration), and developer training that reach syntactic validation defects, but leaves a bounded remainder (e.g. incomplete enforcement across all parsers, second-order inputs, or outsourced components where assurance is only obtained not enforced).

Application security requirements explicitly call for validation of input syntax.

A.8.27 mandates security engineering principles including data validation/sanitization, distrust external input, security by design, and design reviews against attack patterns, which directly stops syntactic validation flaws from reaching production in most cases; the bounded remainder is incomplete application to outsourced development, legacy code, or post-design changes.

Secure coding standards directly require proper syntactic validation of all inputs.

Security testing in development catches missing or incorrect syntax validation.
