J2EE Misconfiguration: Unsafe Bean Declaration
Abstract
Entity beans should not be declared remote.
Explanation
Entity beans that expose a remote interface become part of an application's attack surface. For performance reasons, an application should rarely use remote entity beans, so there is a good chance that a remote entity bean declaration is an error.
Example 1: The following entity bean declaration includes a remote interface:
Example 1: The following entity bean declaration includes a remote interface:
<ejb-jar>
<enterprise-beans>
<entity>
<ejb-name>EmployeeRecord</ejb-name>
<home>com.wombat.empl.EmployeeRecordHome</home>
<remote>com.wombat.empl.EmployeeRecord</remote>
...
</entity>
...
</enterprise-beans>
</ejb-jar>
