Kingdom: Encapsulation
Encapsulation is about drawing strong boundaries. In a web browser that might mean ensuring that your mobile code cannot be abused by other mobile code. On the server it might mean differentiation between validated data and unvalidated data, between one user's data and another's, or between data users are allowed to see and data that they are not.
System Information Leak: LDAP Query
Abstract
Disclosure of LDAP queries can allow attackers to retrieve information from an LDAP server using LDAP injection.
Explanation
Hardcoding LDAP queries into the application code or revealing them in error messages can expose sensitive information such as variable names or path information. It can also disclose valuable information about the structure of an LDAP query. An attacker can use this information to manipulate the LDAP statement or filter and retrieve user records or execute arbitrary LDAP commands.
