SI-10 directly requires validation of all inputs, eliminating the assumption that client-supplied parameters remain immutable.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure SDLC practices directly require server-side validation of all inputs instead of trusting client-supplied immutable parameters.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure coding standards require server-side verification of client-supplied data, eliminating the root cause of external control of immutable parameters.
Security testing in development and acceptance will detect parameter tampering vulnerabilities before deployment.
Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and integrity checks that directly prevent external tampering of assumed-immutable parameters.
Application security requirements explicitly call for validation of all inputs, including hidden fields, mitigating CWE-472.
Information access restriction can limit which parameters users may influence, providing a secondary layer of defense.
