QID 580548: Missing Required Field Response Mismatches Schema

The purpose of the test is to enforce the required data is present in the request that goes to the server. This test will ensure required fields are always present. Each request is evaluated based on fields marked as required. The expectation is that if the end point does not have the required fields the request is determined as invalid. The API server should reject all the requests that do not have required fields with a 4XX response. Based on the analysis of the results it is determined that the response to missing required fields are not matching schema.The response received for the request with missing required fields is not expected and does not match the response documented in the swagger file schema.

Making sure required fields are always present will provide clarity to the API users. Automation of the API usage, testing becomes easier with the enforcement. The mismatch with schema definition introduces confusion to API users and becomes a challenge to automation of the API

CVSS V3 rated as Medium - 5.4 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 5 severity.

Solution

Please update the API endpoint response to match the swagger schema definition or update the schema to match the server response.
