STIX 2.1 Validator

Validate STIX 2.1 JSON bundles using the official stix2-validator library.

Requirements

Install the validator library before use:

pip install stix2-validator --break-system-packages

Usage

Validate a Single File

python scripts/validate_stix.py /path/to/bundle.json

Validate a Directory

python scripts/validate_stix.py /path/to/stix_files/

Add -r for recursive subdirectory scanning.

Options

Option Description
--strict Enable all optional validation checks
--enforce-refs Warn when object references don't resolve within the bundle
-r, --recursive Recursively validate files in subdirectories
--json Output results as JSON for programmatic use
-q, --quiet Suppress success messages, show only errors

JSON Output

For integration with other tools, use --json:

python scripts/validate_stix.py bundle.json --json

Returns structured output:

{
  "file": "bundle.json",
  "valid": false,
  "errors": [
    {"id": "indicator--abc123", "type": "", "message": "'pattern_type' is a required property"}
  ],
  "warnings": []
}

Error Categories

The validator checks for:

  • Schema errors: Missing required properties, invalid property types
  • Format errors: Malformed UUIDs, invalid timestamps, incorrect ID formats
  • Reference errors: Unresolved object references (with --enforce-refs)
  • Semantic errors: Invalid STIX patterns, constraint violations

Exit Codes

  • 0: All files valid
  • 1: Validation errors found or file not found
