This section includes everything that is outside of the source code but is still critical to the security of the product that is being created. Because the issues covered by this kingdom are not directly related to source code, we separated it from the rest of the kingdoms.

Axis Service Requester Misconfiguration: Plain Text Password

Java/JSP

Abstract

Avoid the WS-Security password type PasswordText.

Explanation

Using a password type of PasswordText might be an indication that actual passwords are being transmitted in plain text. The WS-Security UsernameToken Profile states that text sent in the UsernameToken <Password> tag are not limited to being actual passwords. They can be password derivatives instead. However, it is common for developers to send actual passwords instead of password derivatives. Sending unencrypted passwords or even password hashes exposes the credentials to anyone with a traffic sniffer.
