Description

  • For risk and threat objects, we expect each field to be used for a single entry, not multiple
  • We check against this at runtime during testing, but it could be enforced by validators as well

Research direction

Start by locating the build/validate entry points and the existing runtime testing check for repeated fields in risk and threat objects. Trace how validators report invalid objects, then make duplicate field names fail validation and confirm the behavior through the relevant tests.
