How often is use input validation left out of the specs you work with? Do you make it a point to address that shortcoming?
Discussion on:
This is a very imp aspect of the specs and should not be ignored
my own specs, and I never leave input validation out.
all user input is validated for the content type expected.
no user input is run as script.
( code tag any user input on validating if it contains scripting data )
all input also has session key tied to the validation, if no valid session key, then input rejected.
( helps keep cross site scripting vulnerabilities and errors down )
why anyone hasn't set up thier own sanitisation functions that they use automatically in todays environment is beyond me.
