API schema validation enforces that all data exchanged through APIs conforms to a predefined structure defined in OpenAPI Specification (OAS) or JSON Schema documents. This prevents injection attacks (SQLi, XSS, XXE), blocks mass assignment by rejecting unknown properties, prevents data leakage by validating response schemas, and ensures type safety across all API interactions. Schema validation operates at both the API gateway level (runtime enforcement) and during development (shift-left security).
additionalProperties missing or true: the single most common gap - without additionalProperties: false, mass-assignment fields pass validation; set it on every object schema.maxLength/pattern and fields without enum permit injection and DoS payloads.readOnly not enforced server-side: clients can still write readOnly fields if the server only documents them rather than rejecting them.How to verify it works: send a request with an extra/unknown field and confirm 400 (not silent acceptance); submit over-long and pattern-violating values and confirm rejection; attempt to set a readOnly field and confirm it is ignored; force a sensitive field into a response and confirm response validation strips it or fails safely; diff the enforced spec against the live route list.
