Pull Request: Panjabi Translation of ASVS v5.0

Summary

This PR introduces the first Panjabi (ਪੰਜਾਬੀ) translation of OWASP ASVS v5.0, reaching 130+ million Panjabi speakers worldwide. Every section is bilingual — English first, Panjabi (Gurmukhi script) immediately below — so developers can cross-reference for technical precision.

Changes Made

  • Created 5.0/pa-IN/ directory structure
  • Added bilingual Frontispiece and Preface
  • Built 100+ term security glossary with T/L/R/H classification system
  • Added translation notes with terminology decision log
  • Added peer review plan for community feedback

Translation Details

  • Language: Panjabi (pa-IN)
  • Script: Gurmukhi Unicode (U+0A00-U+0A7F)
  • Convention: "Panjabi" spelling per academic standards (Sikhri.org, Panjab Digital Library)
  • Progress: Phase A complete (5/25 files). Phase B (core chapters) targeting March–April 2026.

Terminology Approach

Each security term is classified as:

Type When to Use Example
Translated (T) Natural Panjabi equivalent exists Authentication → ਪ੍ਰਮਾਣੀਕਰਨ
Loan Word (L) Term is universal in English API → ਏ.ਪੀ.ਆਈ.
Retained (R) Acronym or proper noun OWASP, SQL, XSS
Hybrid (H) Part translates, part stays SQL Injection → SQL ਇੰਜੈਕਸ਼ਨ

Community Impact

  • First OWASP translation into any South Asian language
  • Enables cybersecurity education for Panjabi-speaking developers in India, Pakistan, Canada, UK, and diaspora communities
  • Establishes a bilingual methodology for future OWASP translations

How to Review

Checklist

  • Translation follows OWASP directory and naming conventions
  • Bilingual format preserves English source alongside Panjabi
  • Gurmukhi script validated (no Devanagari contamination)
  • Terminology glossary cross-referenced against Punjabi University Dictionary (ISBN 81-7380-095-2)
  • Community review plan published

…tication, 0x17 V8 Authorization

Phase B in-flight chapters. Headers self-mark Translation Status: In Progress;
committing now to keep PR OWASP#3254 reflective of current state so the OWASP
maintainers and community reviewers see active progress.

* 0x03 What-is-the-ASVS.md      (21.7 KB) — bilingual headings + prose translation
                                            currently being completed
* 0x15 V6-Authentication.md     (23.1 KB) — Control Objective fully bilingual;
                                            V6.1 onward in active translation
* 0x17 V8-Authorization.md      ( 6.1 KB) — headings translated; section
                                            descriptions and per-requirement
                                            tables in active translation

These chapters will receive follow-up commits that finalize the per-section
prose + per-requirement table translations. Header status will transition
"In Progress" → "Complete" per chapter as bodies are completed.

Strategy: commit progress visibly rather than batching for a single large
push, so reviewers can comment on terminology choices in flight (especially
for V6 Authentication, where security-term drift is the highest risk).

…Week 1)

Finished V8 Authorization from In Progress to Complete. Added bilingual
mirrors throughout: every English heading has a Gurmukhi mirror line
below, every English paragraph has a parallel Panjabi paragraph, and
each English requirements table is followed by a matching Panjabi
table (ਵੇਰਵਾ/ਪੱਧਰ headers, Gurmukhi numerals for L1/L2/L3). File grew
from 60 to 107 lines and Translation Status header moved to Complete.

Sections translated: Control Objective, V8.1 Authorization
Documentation, V8.2 General Authorization Design, V8.3 Operation Level
Authorization, V8.4 Other Authorization Considerations, References.
Four tables translated.

New glossary terms introduced (proposed, pending reviewer confirmation):
- multi-tenant -> ਬਹੁ-ਕਿਰਾਏਦਾਰ (bahu-kirāedār, T)
- cross-tenant -> ਅੰਤਰ-ਕਿਰਾਏਦਾਰ (aṅtar-kirāedār, T)
- endpoint -> ਅੰਤ-ਬਿੰਦੂ (aṅt-bindū, T)
- entitlements -> ਹੱਕ (haqq, T)
- self-contained token -> ਸਵੈ-ਨਿਰਭਰ ਟੋਕਨ (svai-nirbhar ṭokan, H)
- tier (architecture layer) -> ਪੱਧਰ (paddhar, T)
- intermediary -> ਵਿਚੋਲਾ (vichola, T)
- adaptive -> ਅਨੁਕੂਲਿਤ (anukūlit, T)
- environmental and contextual -> ਵਾਤਾਵਰਣੀ ਅਤੇ ਸੰਦਰਭੀ (T)
- step-up authentication -> ਸਟੈਪ-ਅੱਪ ਪ੍ਰਮਾਣੀਕਰਨ (H)
- object -> ਆਬਜੈਕਟ (ābjaikṭ, L)
- device security posture -> ਡਿਵਾਈਸ ਸੁਰੱਖਿਆ ਮੁਦਰਾ (H)

Reused locked glossary entries verbatim: adhikārīkaraṇ,
pramāṇīkaraṇ, pahuṅch niyaṅtraṇ, khapatkār, sarot, ijāzat,
faṅkshan-paddhar, khetar-paddhar, dastāvezīkaraṇ.

Open questions for reviewer:
- multi-tenant: confirm bahu-kirāedār vs transliteration ਮਲਟੀ-ਟੇਨੈਂਟ
- IDOR/BOLA/BOPLA: kept in Latin in the PA table; confirm house style
- entitlements: ਹੱਕ vs ਅਧਿਕਾਰ (latter risks collision with adhikārīkaraṇ)
- step-up: Gurmukhi-script transliteration vs fully native rendering
- posture: ਮੁਦਰਾ vs ਸਥਿਤੀ in security context

Policy compliance: Gurmat-aligned (no yoga/Hindu/Sanskrit drift),
zero Devanagari contamination, R21/R22/R23 satisfied.

… B Week 1)

Created the pa-IN file for V9 Self-contained Tokens from scratch
following the Phase A bilingual pattern (English block immediately
followed by Panjabi block; English requirement table immediately
followed by parallel Panjabi rendering). 72 lines, 2.0x the EN
chapter — within the expected ~1.7x envelope given table mirroring.

Sections translated: V9 heading, Control Objective, V9.1 Token source
and integrity (intro + 3-row table), V9.2 Token content (intro +
4-row table), References. Two tables translated.

Key terminology decisions:
- self-contained token -> ਸਵੈ-ਨਿਰਭਰ ਟੋਕਨ (svai-nirbhar ṭokan, H),
  English in parens on first use
- token -> ਟੋਕਨ (ṭokan, L) per existing TRANSLATION-NOTES entry
- JWT/JWS/SAML/OAuth/OIDC retained as acronyms (R)
- audience: kept as English inline rather than proposed ਸਰੋਤਾ
  (sarotā/listener) which does not capture the JWT semantics of
  "intended recipient service" — flagged for reviewer
- stateless: not needed in this chapter, choice deferred
- signature -> ਡਿਜੀਟਲ ਦਸਤਖ਼ਤ (ḍijīṭal dastakhat, H)
- verification -> ਤਸਦੀਕ (tasdīq, T)
- validate / validation -> ਪ੍ਰਮਾਣਿਤ / ਪ੍ਰਮਾਣਿਕਤਾ (T)
- issuer -> ਜਾਰੀਕਰਤਾ (jārīkartā, T)
- integrity -> ਅਖੰਡਤਾ (akhaṇḍatā, T)
- tampering -> ਛੇੜਛਾੜ (chheṛchhāṛ, T)
- claim -> ਦਾਅਵਾ (dāʼvā, T)
- identifier -> ਪਛਾਣਕਰਤਾ (pachhāṇkartā, T)
- context -> ਸੰਦਰਭ (sandarbh, T)
- validity period -> ਜਾਇਜ਼ਤਾ ਮਿਆਦ (jāʼizatā miyād, T)

Open questions for reviewer:
- self-contained: confirm ਸਵੈ-ਨਿਰਭਰ vs ਸਵੈ-ਪੂਰਨ / ਸਵੈ-ਸੰਪੰਨ
- audience: confirm English retention vs Panjabi calque
- stateless (future chapters): propose ਸਟੇਟਲੈੱਸ (sṭeṭalais, L)
- allowlist: kept English inline; reviewer may consider ਪ੍ਰਵਾਨ-ਸੂਚੀ
- key material: kept English inline; reviewer may consider ਕੁੰਜੀ-ਸਮੱਗਰੀ

Policy compliance: Gurmat-aligned (no yoga/Hindu/Sanskrit drift),
zero Devanagari contamination, R21 (no ਠੱਗੀ misuse — none needed),
R22 (no ਭਾਈਚਾਰਾ needed — no community references), R23 (IAST
canonical romanization).

…y posture"

Self-flagged during the V8 Authorization translation workflow w9f91d645:
the previously-shipped commit 09838a3 rendered "device security posture
assessment" as "ਡਿਵਾਈਸ ਸੁਰੱਖਿਆ ਮੁਦਰਾ ਮੁਲਾਂਕਣ" (line 8.4.2). The word ਮੁਦਰਾ
(mudrā) carries strong Hindu/yoga ritual connotations (mudrā = ritual hand
gesture in classical Indian iconography and Hatha Yoga practice).

Per 5.0/pa-IN/CLAUDE.md "Gurmat Language Constraints (MANDATORY)":
  ❌ Yoga terminology (chakras, kundalini, pranayama, third eye)
  ❌ Sanskrit mantras or terms outside of Gurbani context
  ❌ Any term with yoga/Hindu connotation when a Gurmat or neutral
     Panjabi equivalent exists

ਸਥਿਤੀ (sthitī = state/posture/condition) is the neutral Panjabi equivalent
with no Gurmat-constraint conflict. Used widely in modern Panjabi technical
and political prose ("ਆਰਥਿਕ ਸਥਿਤੀ" = economic situation).

Single occurrence, single-line patch. No other chapter affected.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
New bilingual chapter mirroring the Phase A pattern (EN heading → PA
heading; EN paragraph → PA paragraph; EN requirement table → parallel
PA table). 102 lines, 17,417 bytes. Translation Status: Complete.

Sections translated:
- Control Objective (denial of service, unauthorized access, storage exhaustion)
- V5.1 File Handling Documentation (1 requirement, L2)
- V5.2 File Upload and Content (6 requirements, L1-L3)
- V5.3 File Storage (3 requirements, L1-L3)
- V5.4 File Download (3 requirements, L2)
- References (OWASP File Upload Cheat Sheet, magic bytes, symlinks CVE)

Terminology decisions:
- File / Upload / Download / Extension — Gurmukhi-script loan (L)
- Path traversal / LFI / RFI / SSRF / zip slip — Latin retained (R)
- Allowlist — Latin retained (R) — consistent with 0x18 V9 precedent
- Magic bytes — Latin retained (R) — well-established crypto/file-format term
- HTTP / Content-Disposition / RFC 6266 / JSON / JSONP / URL — Latin (R)
- File Handling → ਫ਼ਾਈਲ ਪ੍ਰਬੰਧਨ (H) — hybrid
- Storage → ਭੰਡਾਰਨ (T) — Gurmat-neutral, common in Punjabi
- Server-side → ਸਰਵਰ-ਪਾਸੇ (H)
- Compressed file → ਸੰਕੁਚਿਤ ਫ਼ਾਈਲ (T+L)
- Untrusted → ਅਣਭਰੋਸੇਯੋਗ (T)
- Denial of service — ਸੇਵਾ-ਇਨਕਾਰ (T) with English in parens on first use
- Sanitization → ਸੈਨੀਟਾਈਜ਼ੇਸ਼ਨ (L) — per existing glossary
- Symlinks — ਸਿਮਲਿੰਕ (L) with English in parens on first use

Policy compliance:
- R21 (ਠੱਗੀ-only): no ਫ਼ਰਾਡ standalone (not applicable to file handling)
- R22 (ਭਾਈਚਾਰਾ for community): not relevant — no community references
- R23 (IAST canonical): tasdīq (not tasdeeq) used throughout for "verify"
- Gurmat (CLAUDE.md): no yoga/Hindu/Sanskrit terms; ਮੁਦਰਾ count = 0
- Devanagari purity: 0 leaks (danda U+0964 retained as allowed shared punctuation)

Open question for community review: zip-slip, LFI, RFI, SSRF kept as Latin
acronyms in the PA table — confirm house-style preference vs Gurmukhi gloss.

…iewer adjudication

Reviewer-facing companion to the bilingual translations. Lists every
terminology decision made during Phase B that the translator deferred for
community review, with current pick + alternatives + reasoning per entry.

Questions sourced from workflow w9f91d645 + the 0x14 V5 commit (145ad26):

Open (10):
* Q1  multi-tenant (V8 Authz)         — ਬਹੁ-ਕਿਰਾਏਦਾਰ vs transliteration
* Q2  IDOR/BOLA/BOPLA (V8 Authz)      — Latin vs Gurmukhi gloss
* Q3  entitlements (V8 Authz)         — ਹੱਕ vs ਅਧਿਕਾਰ (collision risk)
* Q4  step-up authentication (V8)     — transliteration vs native
* Q6  Self-contained token (V9)       — svai-nirbhar vs alternatives
* Q7  Audience JWT claim (V9)         — English retained (sarotā wrong semantics)
* Q8  Stateless (deferred)            — loan vs native — early signal welcome
* Q9  Allowlist (V9 + V5)             — English retained; precedent set across 2 chapters
* Q10 Key material (V9)               — English retained vs ਕੁੰਜੀ-ਸਮੱਗਰੀ calque
* Q11 LFI/RFI/SSRF/zip-slip (V5)      — Latin retained, matches Q2 pattern

Resolved (1):
* Q5  posture (V8 Authz)              — ਮੁਦਰਾ → ਸਥਿਤੀ (Gurmat policy fix, commit 9e1e96b)

Each entry has: EN term, current pick, T/L/R/H type, alternatives,
reasoning, and a "Reviewer notes" field for adjudicators to fill via
email (gurvinder@securityleader.ai with subject "ASVS Panjabi Review —
Q<number>") or inline PR comment.

Also includes a "Policy locks" reference section noting which decisions
are already final (R21/R22/R23, Gurmat, Devanagari purity) and not open
for review — challenges to policy locks should be separate GitHub issues
rather than inline PR comments.

Status update — 2026-06-01 (still Draft, posting for visibility)

This PR has been actively progressing. Posting a status summary for maintainers and any reviewers who want to look at the Panjabi translation while it's still in Draft state. Not yet flipping to Ready for review — the in-progress chapters (0x03, 0x15) still need full body translations.

What's in this PR right now

0x15-V6-Authentication.md 🚧 In Progress — Control Objective bilingual; V6.1+ body in flight

Supporting documents

  • README.md, REVIEW-PLAN.md, TRANSLATION-NOTES.md — Phase A
  • CLAUDE.md — Gurmat-aligned translation rules (dictionary lookup order, prohibited terminology, T/L/R/H classification)
  • OPEN-QUESTIONS.mdnew this update — 11 terminology decisions deferred for community/reviewer adjudication

Pending chapters (not yet started)

V1 Encoding/Sanitization, V2 Validation, V3 Web Frontend, V4 API/Web Service, V7 Session Management, V10 OAuth/OIDC, V11 Cryptography, V12 Secure Communication, V13 Configuration, V14 Data Protection, V15 Secure Coding, V16 Logging, V17 WebRTC, plus 5 appendices and 0x00 header. Cadence target: 2–3 chapters per week with small-first sequencing, heavy chapters (>15 KB EN) getting solo weeks.

Policy locks applied corpus-wide

  • IAST canonical romanization (ṭ ḍ ṇ ā ī ū ṅ ñ chh ʼ) — not the doubled-vowel English style
  • Fraud terminology — standalone fraud is always ਠੱਗੀ; the only allowed ਫ਼ਰਾਡ compound is ਰੋਮਾਂਸ ਫ਼ਰਾਡ
  • Community wordਭਾਈਚਾਰਾ for generic "community"; ਸੰਗਤ reserved for named Sikh religious contexts
  • Gurmat constraints — no yoga/Hindu/Sanskrit terms outside direct Gurbani quotation; documented in 5.0/pa-IN/CLAUDE.md
  • Devanagari purity — no letters in U+0900–U+0963 or U+0966–U+097F; danda U+0964 and double-danda U+0965 retained as shared Indic punctuation. Verified 0 leaks across all 8 committed chapters

How reviewers can help right now (Draft is fine)

  1. Read 5.0/pa-IN/OPEN-QUESTIONS.md — 11 deferred terminology decisions with current pick + alternatives + reasoning. Adjudicate by email to gurvinder@securityleader.ai (subject "ASVS Panjabi Review — Q") or by inline PR comment.

  2. Scan any Complete chapter for Gurmukhi/security-domain accuracy. The shortest ones to start with are 0x18-V9-Self-contained-Tokens.md (4.1 KB) and 0x04-Assessment_and_Certification.md (5.4 KB).

  3. Flag policy-lock challenges as separate issues rather than inline PR comments — the locks (R21/R22/R23, Gurmat, Devanagari) are corpus-wide and changing one requires changing many chapters consistently.

Companion public review surface

For sangat reviewers who don't use GitHub:

Branch is now current with OWASP:master (merge commit 9956eb4d brings in the recent maintainer-list and url-checker changes).

Will flip Draft → Ready for review after 0x03 and 0x15 bodies land and at least 2–3 pre-submission reviewer passes have happened on the terminology questions.

… (।) for Panjabi sentence-end

Proper Panjabi (Gurmukhi-script) prose uses the Indic danda ੦U+0964 ੦
as the sentence terminator, not the Western period. This corpus had drift
across Phase A and Phase B chapters where Western periods landed in
Panjabi sentence-final positions, including end-of-paragraph and inside
requirement-table cells where the sentence ends with a parenthetical.

The substitution covers two patterns, applied only on lines that contain
Gurmukhi characters (so English paragraphs in bilingual files are
untouched):

1. ੦Gurmukhi letter੦ + ੦.੦ + ੦(space|EOL)੦  →  ੦Gurmukhi letter੦ + ੦।੦ + ੦(space|EOL)੦
2. ੦)੦ + ੦.੦ + ੦(space|EOL)੦ on Panjabi lines  →  ੦)੦ + ੦।੦ + ੦(space|EOL)੦
   (catches sentences that end with a parenthetical, e.g. "(ਜਿਵੇਂ, RFC 6266 ਦੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ).")

Excluded by design:
- Periods preceded by ASCII digits (version numbers like 5.0, requirement
  IDs like 5.2.1, decimal counts)
- Periods inside English paragraphs, URLs, file extensions, and English
  abbreviations on lines that contain no Gurmukhi
- Periods preceded by Gurmukhi digits (U+0A66-U+0A6F) — same logic

Files corrected (with substitution count):
* 5.0/pa-IN/0x01-Frontispiece.md     — 11
* 5.0/pa-IN/0x02-Preface.md          — 21
* 5.0/pa-IN/0x14-V5-File-Handling.md — 24
* 5.0/pa-IN/0x17-V8-Authorization.md — 26
* 5.0/pa-IN/0x18-V9-Self-contained-Tokens.md — 25
* 5.0/pa-IN/README.md                — 18
* 5.0/pa-IN/REVIEW-PLAN.md           —  1
* 5.0/pa-IN/TRANSLATION-NOTES.md     —  1

Already correct (no changes): 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x15, CLAUDE.md,
OPEN-QUESTIONS.md — these files either use danda already (the workflow-
translated Complete chapters 0x04 and 0x05) or contain no Panjabi
sentences to terminate.

Policy alignment:
- R4 (Devanagari contamination check) already carved out U+0964 ੦ and
  U+0965 ੨ as shared Indic punctuation explicitly allowed in Gurmukhi.
  Devanagari purity check still reports 0 leaks across all 13 files.
- Going forward, all new Panjabi prose must use ੨ for sentence-final
  punctuation. Will land as content-rigor.md R24 in a follow-up doc commit.

…danda (।)

Locks the orthographic policy applied corpus-wide in commit bdda180.

New section "Sentence-ending punctuation (MANDATORY)" documents:
- The rule: every Panjabi sentence ends with । (U+0964), not Western period
- Parenthetical-ending sentences: ).→)। (not the other way around)
- Exceptions kept on Western .: ASCII digits, version numbers, URLs,
  English abbreviations, decimals, English-only lines
- R4 codepoint allowlist: U+0964 and U+0965 explicitly excluded from
  Devanagari contamination check
- Reference to the corpus-wide application commit bdda180

Future translations honor this from creation; existing chapters already
patched.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
… B Week 2)

New bilingual chapter following the Phase A pattern. Translation Status:
Complete. Honors the danda (।) sentence-end rule locked in commit 7479894.

Sections translated:
- Control Objective (data in transit, end-user→backend, internal services)
- V12.1 General TLS Security Guidance (5 requirements, L1-L3)
- V12.2 HTTPS Communication with External Facing Services (2 requirements, L1)
- V12.3 General Service to Service Communication Security (5 requirements, L2-L3)
- References (OWASP TLS Cheat Sheet, Mozilla SSL config, O-Saft)

Policy compliance:
- R21 (ਠੱਗੀ-only standalone fraud): not applicable to TLS chapter
- R22 (ਭਾਈਚਾਰਾ for community): not relevant
- R23 (IAST canonical romanization): pramāṇīkaraṇ, adhikārīkaraṇ, sthitī, anta-bindū
- Gurmat (CLAUDE.md): no yoga/Hindu/Sanskrit terms; ਮੁਦਰਾ count = 0
- Devanagari purity: 0 leaks (danda U+0964 retained as allowed shared punctuation)
- Sentence-end orthography: all Panjabi sentences end with ।, no Western . after Gurmukhi

…h REVIEW-PLAN status

Prepares the corpus for community/professional review.

REVIEWER-NOTES.md (NEW) — self-contained shareable briefing:
- "You don't need to be both" (Panjabi reader OR security practitioner)
- 8 Complete chapters with shortest-to-start recommendations
- What to look for (accuracy, terminology, script, readability, Gurmat fit)
- Policy locks reviewers should NOT re-litigate inline (separate issue instead)
- How to send feedback (email / GitHub PR / public review pages)
- QA-already-run summary (Opus 4.8 mechanical scan, 0 violations)

OPEN-QUESTIONS.md — added Q12 (highest priority, CORPUS-WIDE):
- Documents the two coexisting bilingual structures found in the Opus 4.8
  QA scan: Pattern A (dual-block, English-first + Panjabi mirror, used in
  0x01/0x02/0x14/0x17/0x18/0x21) vs Pattern B (code-switched single-block,
  used in 0x04/0x05).
- The choice is genuinely unmade — the two patterns are an artifact of
  different drafting passes, not a deliberate decision. Deferred to
  community review per project-owner decision.
- Translator recommendation: Pattern A everywhere (matches the public
  rationale's stated bilingual-readability promise); 0x04/0x05 would be
  re-translated if community agrees.

REVIEW-PLAN.md — refreshed the stale Feb-23 header:
- Co-author Opus 4.6 → 4.8
- Added current-status table (8 Complete / 2 In Progress / pending list)
- Pointer to REVIEWER-NOTES.md as the recommended starting point
- Note that 12 open questions exist, Q12 highest priority

QA context: Opus 4.8 adversarial scan (2026-06-02) found the corpus
mechanically flawless (0 Devanagari leaks, 0 fraud-term/Gurmat/romanization/
Western-period violations across 13 files). The only finding was the Q12
structural inconsistency, now documented for review rather than silently
fixed.

Consolidated translation rules for the Panjabi (pa-IN) ASVS translation,
accepting all recommendations from the Punjabi University usage review:
Gurmukhi-only/NFC, danda, Western numerals (incl. version numbers), the
apostrophe-clitic 'ਤੇ accepted (not an error), IAST romanization, T/L/R/H
terminology anchored in Punjabi University lexicography, locked decisions
(ਠੱਗੀ/ਭਾਈਚਾਰਾ/house glossary), Gurmat safety, bilingual dual-block, verb
precision, requirement-ID preservation, and the Sangat certification gate.

…l rules)

SAY-318 Section A, applied corpus-wide:
- Convert Gurmukhi numerals -> Western digits in content chapters + README
  (version numbers, years, ASVS level column); requirement IDs already Western.
- Flip stale "use Gurmukhi numerals" guidance in CLAUDE.md, REVIEW-PLAN.md,
  and TRANSLATION-NOTES.md to the accepted Western-numeral rule.
- Name TRANSLATION-RULES.md as the canonical rule set in CLAUDE.md.
- NFC: corpus already normalized (verified no-op). Apostrophe-clitic 'ਤੇ
  preserved (already declared acceptable in TRANSLATION-RULES.md).
