Kingdom: Security Features
Software security is not security software. Here we're concerned with topics like authentication, access control, confidentiality, cryptography, and privilege management.
Access Control: Database
Abstract
Without proper access control, executing a SQL statement that contains a user-controlled primary key can allow an attacker to view unauthorized records.
Explanation
Database access control errors occur when:
1. Data enters a program from an untrusted source.
2. The data is used to specify the value of a primary key in a SQL query.
Example 1: The following code uses a statement that relies on an integer and thus is not vulnerable to SQL injection vulnerabilities, to construct and execute a SQL query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier [1]. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.
The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of
1. Data enters a program from an untrusted source.
2. The data is used to specify the value of a primary key in a SQL query.
Example 1: The following code uses a statement that relies on an integer and thus is not vulnerable to SQL injection vulnerabilities, to construct and execute a SQL query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier [1]. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.
DATA: id TYPE i.
...
id = request->get_form_field( 'invoiceID' ).
CONCATENATE `INVOICEID = '` id `'` INTO cl_where.
SELECT *
FROM invoices
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab_invoices
WHERE (cl_where).
ENDSELECT.
...
The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of
ID
. Although the interface generates a list of invoice identifiers that belong to the current user, an attacker might bypass this interface to request any desired invoice. Because the code in this example does not check to ensure that the user has permission to access the requested invoice, it will display any invoice, even if it does not belong to the current user.References

Abstract
Without proper access control, executing a SOQL/SOSL statement that may contain a user-supplied primary key can allow an attacker to view unauthorized records.
Explanation
Database access control errors occur when:
1. Data enters a program from an untrusted source.
2. The data is used to specify the value of a primary key in a SOQL/SOSL query.
Example 1: In the following code example,
The problem with the previous example is that using a pre-defined list of IDs is insufficient to prevent the user from modifying the value of
1. Data enters a program from an untrusted source.
2. The data is used to specify the value of a primary key in a SOQL/SOSL query.
Example 1: In the following code example,
inputID
value is originated from a pre-defined list, and a bind variable helps to prevent SOQL/SOSL injection.
...
result = [SELECT Name, Phone FROM Contact WHERE (IsDeleted = false AND Id=:inputID)];
...
The problem with the previous example is that using a pre-defined list of IDs is insufficient to prevent the user from modifying the value of
inputID
. If the attacker is able to bypass the interface and send a request with a different value he will have access to other contact information. Since the code in this example does not check to ensure that the user has permission to access the requested contact, it will display any contact, even if the user is not authorized to see it.References

Explanation
Database access control errors occur when:

2. The data is used to specify the value of a primary key in an LINQ query.
Example 1: The following code executes an LINQ query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier [1]. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.

2. The data is used to specify the value of a primary key in an LINQ query.
Example 1: The following code executes an LINQ query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier [1]. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.
...
int16 id = System.Convert.ToInt16(invoiceID.Text);
var invoice = OrderSystem.getInvoices()
.Where(new Invoice { invoiceID = id });
...
The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of

. Although the interface generates a list of invoice identifiers that belong to the current user, an attacker might bypass this interface to request any desired invoice. Because the code in this example does not check to ensure that the user has permission to access the requested invoice, it will display any invoice, even if it does not belong to the current user.References

Abstract
Without proper access control, executing a SQL statement that contains a user-controlled primary key can allow an attacker to view unauthorized records.
Explanation
Database access control errors occur when:
1. Data enters a program from an untrusted source.
2. The data is used to specify the value of a primary key in a SQL query.
Example 1: The following code uses a parameterized statement, which escapes metacharacters and prevents SQL injection vulnerabilities, to construct and execute a SQL query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier [1]. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.
The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of
1. Data enters a program from an untrusted source.
2. The data is used to specify the value of a primary key in a SQL query.
Example 1: The following code uses a parameterized statement, which escapes metacharacters and prevents SQL injection vulnerabilities, to construct and execute a SQL query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier [1]. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.
...
CMyRecordset rs(&dbms);
rs.PrepareSQL("SELECT * FROM invoices WHERE id = ?");
rs.SetParam_int(0,atoi(r.Lookup("invoiceID").c_str()));
rs.SafeExecuteSQL();
...
The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of
id
. Although the interface generates a list of invoice identifiers that belong to the current user, an attacker might bypass this interface to request any desired invoice. Because the code in this example does not check to ensure that the user has permission to access the requested invoice, it will display any invoice, even if it does not belong to the current user.References

Abstract
Without proper access control, executing a SQL statement that contains a user-controlled primary key can give an attacker access to unauthorized records.
Explanation
Database access control errors occur when:
1. Data enters a program from an untrusted source.
2. The data is used to specify the value of a primary key in a SQL query.
Example 1: The following code uses a parameterized statement, which escapes metacharacters and prevents SQL injection vulnerabilities, to construct and execute a SQL query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier [1]. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.
The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of

Because the code in this example does not check to ensure that the user has permission to access the requested invoice, it will display any invoice, even if it does not belong to the current user.References

Some think that in the mobile world, classic web application vulnerabilities, such as database access control errors, do not make sense -- why would the user attack themself? However, keep in mind that the essence of mobile platforms is applications that are downloaded from various sources and run alongside each other on the same device. The likelihood of running a piece of malware next to a banking application is high, which necessitates expanding the attack surface of mobile applications to include inter-process communication.
Example 2: The following code adapts
A number of modern web frameworks provide mechanisms to perform user input validation (including Struts and Struts 2). To highlight the unvalidated sources of input, Fortify Secure Coding Rulepacks dynamically re-prioritize the issues Fortify Static Code Analyzer reports by lowering their probability of exploit and providing pointers to the supporting evidence whenever the framework validation mechanism is in use. We refer to this feature as Context-Sensitive Ranking. To further assist the Fortify user with the auditing process, the Fortify Software Security Research group makes available the Data Validation project template that groups the issues into folders based on the validation mechanism applied to their source of input.

Abstract
Without proper access control, the identified method can execute a SQL statement that contains an attacker-controlled primary key, thereby allowing the attacker to access unauthorized records.
Explanation
Database access control errors occur when:
1.Data enters a program from an untrusted source.
2.The data is used to specify the value of a primary key in a SQL query.
Example 1: The following code uses a parameterized statement, which escapes metacharacters and prevents SQL injection vulnerabilities, to construct and execute a SQL query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.
The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of

Example 1: The following code uses a parameterized statement, which escapes metacharacters and prevents SQL injection vulnerabilities, to construct and execute a SQL query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.
...
NSManagedObjectContext *context = [appDelegate managedObjectContext];
NSEntityDescription *entityDesc = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Invoices" inManagedObjectContext:context];
NSFetchRequest *request = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
[request setEntity:entityDesc];
NSPredicate *pred = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"(id = %@)", invoiceId.text];
[request setPredicate:pred];
NSManagedObject *matches = nil;
NSError *error;
NSArray *objects = [context executeFetchRequest:request error:&error];
if ([objects count] == 0) {
status.text = @"No records found.";
} else {
matches = [objects objectAtIndex:0];
invoiceReferenceNumber.text = [matches valueForKey:@"invRefNum"];
orderNumber.text = [matches valueForKey:@"orderNumber"];
status.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d records found", [objects count]];
}
[request release];
...
The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of
id
. Although the interface generates a list of invoice identifiers that belong to the current user, an attacker might bypass this interface to request any desired invoice. Because the code in this example does not check to ensure that the user has permission to access the requested invoice, it will display any invoice, even if it does not belong to the current user.References

Abstract
Without proper access control, executing a SQL statement that contains a user-controlled primary key can allow an attacker to view unauthorized records.
Explanation
Database access control errors occur when:
1. Data enters a program from an untrusted source.
2. The data is used to specify the value of a primary key in a SQL query.
Example 1: The following code uses a parameterized statement, which escapes metacharacters and prevents SQL injection vulnerabilities, to construct and execute a SQL query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier [1]. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.
The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of
1. Data enters a program from an untrusted source.
2. The data is used to specify the value of a primary key in a SQL query.
Example 1: The following code uses a parameterized statement, which escapes metacharacters and prevents SQL injection vulnerabilities, to construct and execute a SQL query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier [1]. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.
...
id = request.POST['id']
c = db.cursor()
stmt = c.execute("SELECT * FROM invoices WHERE id = %s", (id,))
...
The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of
id
. Although the interface generates a list of invoice identifiers that belong to the current user, an attacker might bypass this interface to request any desired invoice. Because the code in this example does not check to ensure that the user has permission to access the requested invoice, it will display any invoice, even if it does not belong to the current user.References

Abstract
Without proper access control, the identified method can execute a SQL statement that contains an attacker-controlled primary key, thereby allowing the attacker to access unauthorized records.
Explanation
Database access control errors occur when:
1.Data enters a program from an untrusted source.
2.The data is used to specify the value of a primary key in a SQL query.
Example 1: The following code uses a parameterized statement, which escapes metacharacters and prevents SQL injection vulnerabilities, to construct and execute a SQL query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.
The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of
1.Data enters a program from an untrusted source.
2.The data is used to specify the value of a primary key in a SQL query.
Example 1: The following code uses a parameterized statement, which escapes metacharacters and prevents SQL injection vulnerabilities, to construct and execute a SQL query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.
...
let fetchRequest = NSFetchRequest()
let entity = NSEntityDescription.entityForName("Invoices", inManagedObjectContext: managedContext)
fetchRequest.entity = entity
let pred : NSPredicate = NSPredicate(format:"(id = %@)", invoiceId.text)
fetchRequest.setPredicate = pred
do {
let results = try managedContext.executeFetchRequest(fetchRequest)
let result : NSManagedObject = results.first!
invoiceReferenceNumber.text = result.valueForKey("invRefNum")
orderNumber.text = result.valueForKey("orderNumber")
status.text = "\(results.count) records found"
} catch let error as NSError {
print("Error \(error)")
}
...
The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of
id
. Although the interface generates a list of invoice identifiers that belong to the current user, an attacker might bypass this interface to request any desired invoice. Because the code in this example does not check to ensure that the user has permission to access the requested invoice, it will display any invoice, even if it does not belong to the current user.References
