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: Misconfigured Public Key Pinning

Universal

Abstract

Failure to configure Public-Key-Pins header per RFC7469 guidance might result in an ineffective or weak protection against man-in-the-middle attacks arising from rogue or compromised certificate authority (CA).

Explanation

Syntactical or typographical mistakes such as missing double quotes around pins and missing proper delimiters between attributes might result in either browsers ignoring the header or behaving unexpectedly. Other misconfigurations, such as insufficient max-age value, selection of cryptographically weak hash algorithm for pins and report URI that points to an external domain, can lead to security compromises as detailed in RFC7469 about the header.
