OSCAL Content

How do we replicate this issue

1. Create an OSCAL SSP with at least 1 software component that is defined, and then referenced via a 'provided-by' link in a service component.
2. Validate the OSCAL SSP and review error log

Expected behavior (i.e. solution)

No errors should be raised for 'provided-by' links that are established correctly

@Telos-sa - Please provide the oscal-cli version. Not clear this is an OSCAL bug. Further analysis is needed. Looking at the example above, I am guessing it is a FedRAMP example. Please confirm the origin of the example provided as valid and the oscal-cli version.

Now using oscal-cli v1.0.3 from https://github.com/usnistgov/oscal-cli.

The same sections of the schema provided in the initial issue are still being flagged, its just slightly less descriptive:

@Telos-sa - Can you provide please the entire file (curated) via email at oscal@nist.gov. The snippets are not providing full proof that the data is in the right place.

The first error tells that the 3rd link of the 9th component from the list of components included in the system-implementation of your SSP is not found among the keys of the components listed in the system-implementation.

The second error tells that the 2rd link of the 11th component from the list of components included in the system-implementation of your SSP is not found among the keys of the components listed in the system-implementation.
