This section includes everything that is outside of the source code but is still critical to the security of the product that is being created. Because the issues covered by this kingdom are not directly related to source code, we separated it from the rest of the kingdoms.

ASP.NET Misconfiguration: Request Validation Disabled

Abstract
Use the ASP.NET validation framework to prevent vulnerabilities that result from unchecked input.
Explanation
Unchecked input is the leading cause of vulnerabilities in ASP.NET applications. Unchecked input can lead to numerous vulnerabilities, including cross-site scripting, process control, and SQL injection.

To prevent such attacks, 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
