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: XPath Query
Abstract
Disclosing XPath queries used by an application to interact with XML documents could allow an attacker to steal sensitive information or disrupt the execution of the application.
Explanation
Applications using backend XML databases are prone to XPath injection issues. Revealing information about structure of the XML documents through XPath queries will expose the application to severe threats like information theft and denial of service. Disclosure of XPath queries could provide attackers with specifics like datatype information or the XML components used for storing sensitive information.
An attacker can use this information to orchestrate XPath injection attacks.
An attacker can use this information to orchestrate XPath injection attacks.
