UC-SDLC-05 — Enforce secure coding and input validation standards
Establish and enforce secure coding standards for in-house and reused code, covering common weakness classes and secure use of components. Validate all information inputs for syntax, semantics, type, length, and range at trust boundaries, rejecting or safely encoding unsafe input. Verify adherence through code review and static analysis before release.

- UC-SDLC-05 — Enforce secure coding and input validation standards mitigates Malware delivery, insertion and compromise of systems
- strength
- related
- rationale
- Fewer exploitable coding defects reduce the footholds malware uses to compromise software.
- UC-SDLC-05 — Enforce secure coding and input validation standards mitigates Adversarial attacks, data poisoning and prompt injection
- strength
- primary
- rationale
- Rejecting or safely encoding unsafe input at trust boundaries is a first-order defense against prompt-injection/jailbreak inputs.
- Secure SDLC Phase-Gate Program operates UC-SDLC-05 — Enforce secure coding and input validation standards
- UC-SDLC-05 — Enforce secure coding and input validation standards mitigates Acceptance of data from untrustworthy sources
- strength
- primary
- rationale
- Validating all inputs for syntax/semantics/type/length/range at trust boundaries rejects malicious or untrusted data.
- UC-SDLC-05 — Enforce secure coding and input validation standards mitigates Corruption or integrity loss of critical data
- strength
- primary
- rationale
- Input validation and safe encoding prevent injection of false-but-believable data and defacement via unsafe input.

- UC-SDLC-05 — Enforce secure coding and input validation standards mitigates Inadequate vulnerability scanning and pre-release testing
- strength
- primary
- rationale
- Verifying adherence via code review and static analysis before release is the pre-release security testing itself.
- UC-SDLC-05 — Enforce secure coding and input validation standards mitigates Zero-day exploitation
- strength
- related
- rationale
- Secure coding reduces the count of latent, as-yet-undiscovered vulnerabilities in own code.
