Kingdom: Environment
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.
OpenAPI Misconfiguration: Missing Error Handling
Abstract
The OpenAPI specification does not define responses for security-relevant status codes for an operation that uses an authentication scheme.
Explanation
Always configure APIs to use custom error responses instead of relying on the underlying framework's default responses. Default responses might give detailed information about the error that occurred, and inadvertently leak sensitive information.
Attackers may leverage the additional information provided by a default error response to mount attacks targeting the framework, database, or other resources used by the API.
