Kingdom: Encapsulation

Encapsulation is about drawing strong boundaries. In a web browser that might mean ensuring that your mobile code cannot be abused by other mobile code. On the server it might mean differentiation between validated data and unvalidated data, between one user's data and another's, or between data users are allowed to see and data that they are not.

Flash Misconfiguration: ENABLEDEBUGGER Tag

ActionScript

Abstract

Enabling remote debugging of Flash applications can expose sensitive functionality and lead to a severe compromise of the application.

Explanation

The use of ENABLEDEBUGGER and ENABLEDEBUGGER2 enables support for remote debugging and also contains a poorly salted MD5 password hash. The tag does not offer any security guarantees and can be easily circumvented by using any hex editor tool. Not only is the remote debugging protection easily bypassed, the password the developer used to secure the file is easily recoverable. Flash uses a 16-bit salt added to the password and applies the MD5 hash algorithm to it. This is a weak salt and the password can be recovered using password cracking programs.
