FDA-NTIA-005 warning
Dependency relationships are declared
- Severity
- warningAn NTIA baseline attribute. The guidance frames these as 'should', and in practice a missing baseline attribute returns as a review deficiency or an eSTAR technical screening hold rather than a refusal, so it costs weeks rather than the filing.
- Applies to
- cyclonedx, spdx
- Selector
{"cyclonedx":"$","spdx":"$"}- On an empty selector
- fireThe selector is the document root, which is present in every parsed document, so this rule can never see an empty selector. The value is declared because the field is required of every rule, and fire is the conservative choice should a future selector change make it reachable.
- Fix
- Emit the dependency graph. If it is incomplete, declare that explicitly rather than leaving it silent.

- Note
- NTIA 2021 BASELINE, not CISA 2026. FDA has not adopted the 2026 element set.
