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: 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
