The purpose of validation is to confirm whether reported vulnerabilities are indeed present and to differentiate between false positives and true positives. False positives are benign items incorrectly flagged as vulnerabilities, which can waste resources if pursued. Correct validation processes help in focusing remediation efforts on real weaknesses in the system.
