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.
Denial of Service: Routing
Abstract
An attacker could manipulate wildcard routing patterns, effectively encompassing a wide spectrum of URLs or even achieving matches for all URLs, which could potentially result in the initiation of a Denial of Service (DoS) attack.
Explanation
The vulnerability emerges from the integration of wildcard routing patterns via the
Malicious actors can leverage this vulnerability to orchestrate a DoS attack. By supplying input that incorporates overly permissive wildcard patterns, an attacker can effectively prompt the routing system to ignore significant categories of URL requests. In the worst-case scenario, the attacker might provide input that encompasses all URLs, resulting in a widespread denial of service where the application becomes inaccessible.
routes.Ignore method in ASP.NET applications. This method allows external input to define routing behaviors. Specifically, the use of wildcards, such as {*allaspx}, provides attackers with a foothold to manipulate routing actions. The core issue arises when the input controlling these wildcard patterns is not meticulously validated or sanitized.Malicious actors can leverage this vulnerability to orchestrate a DoS attack. By supplying input that incorporates overly permissive wildcard patterns, an attacker can effectively prompt the routing system to ignore significant categories of URL requests. In the worst-case scenario, the attacker might provide input that encompasses all URLs, resulting in a widespread denial of service where the application becomes inaccessible.
