validate risk-catalog - Validate OSCAL catalogs against OSCAL 1.1.3 schema

The validate risk-catalog command validates OSCAL catalog documents against the official OSCAL 1.1.3 JSON schema from NIST.

Catalogs define security control libraries (e.g., NIST 800-53) with structured control definitions, parameters, and supporting materials.

Validation uses the official OSCAL JSON schema: https://github.com/usnistgov/OSCAL/releases/download/v1.1.3/oscal_catalog_schema.json

Notes

Expected Output:

Displays OSCAL schema validation results for catalog document. Shows missing required fields, schema violations, and structural errors. Exit code 0 if valid OSCAL 1.1.3 catalog, 1 if validation errors.
