Section 2.1 of the Application Security and Development STIG Overview, "Security Assessment Information", requires that "...coding standards, application vulnerability scan reports, and automated code review results are all part of the suite of system documentation that is expected to be available for review when conducting a security assessment of an application."
The proper application of this CERT Secure Coding standard would enable a system to comply with the following requirements from the Application Security and Development Security Technical Implementation Guide, Version 4, Release 18:
- (APSC-DV-001995: CAT II) The application must not be vulnerable to race conditions.
- (APSC-DV-002000: CAT II) The application must terminate all network connections associated with a communications session at the end of the session.
- (APSC-DV-002510: CAT I) The application must protect from command injection.
- (APSC-DV-002520: CAT II) The application must protect from canonical representation vulnerabilities.
- (APSC-DV-002530: CAT II) The application must validate all input.
- (APSC-DV-002560: CAT I) The application must not be subject to input handling vulnerabilities.

- (APSC-DV-003215: CAT III) The application development team must follow a set of coding standards.
- (APSC-DV-003235: CAT II) The application must not be subject to error handling vulnerabilities.
