Request Validation at the API Gateway
Security Requirement
API gateways SHOULD validate incoming requests and filter malformed ones before dispatching them to downstream components. This prevents specially crafted requests from exploiting vulnerabilities in the systems behind the gateway.
Components Protected
By filtering at the gateway, the following downstream components are shielded from malformed input:
- Guardrails component
- Prompt orchestrator
- Inference engine
- Models themselves
