Kingdom: Security Features
Software security is not security software. Here we're concerned with topics like authentication, access control, confidentiality, cryptography, and privilege management.
Insecure Transport: Channel Mixing
Abstract
Mixing HTTP and HTTPS content in a single web page can lead to data exposure vulnerabilities.
Explanation
Transport layer protections are essential in addition to secure coding and program configuration to fully secure the application against compromises. Enforcing SSL/TLS access to sensitive application resources and functionality is a crucial transport security control that protects applications against unauthorized access. In addition to configuring secure access, it is equally important to disallow connections to these resources that are established over non secure channels.
Allowing both HTTP and HTTPS connections to the server leaves the application susceptible to the same degree of compromise as when secure access is disabled. An attacker can use this weakness to potentially intercept sensitive data including usernames and passwords, customer account information, or similar information.
