Kingdom: Input Validation and Representation

Input validation and representation problems ares caused by metacharacters, alternate encodings and numeric representations. Security problems result from trusting input. The issues include: "Buffer Overflows," "Cross-Site Scripting" attacks, "SQL Injection," and many others.

ADF Bad Practices: Missing URL Parameter Converter

Abstract
An Oracle ADF Faces bookmarkable view is missing a URL parameter converter.
Explanation
In a regular JSF application, values are converted and validated using converters and validators specified by the UI components. The conversion and validation itself happens when the page is submitted. A bookmarkable view in a Fusion application results in no page submission, and therefore no similar conversion or validation is performed by default.

Example 1: The following configuration file snippet shows a sample bookmarkable view that is configured to perform no conversion or validation of the paramName URL parameter.

    <bookmark>
        <method>#{paramHandler.handleParams}</method>
        <url-parameter>
            <name>paramName</name>
            <value>#{requestScope.paramName}</value>
        </url-parameter>
    </bookmark>
