Our application uses FluentValidation for input validation. Does Veracode not recognize this implementation? If not, what alternatives, other than DataAnnotations, can be used to mitigate the issue.

Veracode Static Analysis reports flaws of CWE 1174 on .NET applications when it can see a string property without Data Annotations. We recommend using Data Annotations to ensure data is validated appropriately. FluentValidation ( https://fluentvalidation.net/ ) is an excellent .NET validation library, but not one that Veracode Static Analysis currently supports for CWE 1174 (or any other flaw as far as I know).
If you validation other than Data Annotations we recommend documenting this in a mitigation proposal ( https://help.veracode.com/r/improve_mitigation ) and requesting a manual review from your security team.

FluentValidation is pretty widely used, so it would be worth for the team to explore and add it to the list.
The same here. We use FluentValidation for our CQRS types - Queries and Commands as below
```
public record GetSummaryQuery(
Guid UserId,
string Channel) : IQuery<SummaryResponse>;
```
```
public class GetSummaryQueryValidator : AbstractValidator<GetSummaryQuery>
{
public GetSummaryQueryValidator()
{
RuleFor(command => command.UserId).NotEmpty();
RuleFor(command => command.Channel).NotEmpty().IsEnumName(typeof(Channel));
}
}
```
This does the validation for us similar to how data annotations work. Can you please look into this issue? Thanks.
