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.
WCF Misconfiguration: Unauthorized Access
Abstract
This service does not use an authorization control.
Explanation
When a client calls a particular WCF service, WCF provides various authorization schemes that verify that the caller has permission to execute the service method on the server. If authorization controls are not enabled for WCF services, an authenticated user can achieve privilege escalation.
Example 1: The following code instructs WCF to not check the authorization level of the client when executing the service:
Example 1: The following code instructs WCF to not check the authorization level of the client when executing the service:
ServiceHost myServiceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(Calculator), baseUri);
ServiceAuthorizationBehavior myServiceBehavior =
myServiceHost.Description.Behaviors.Find<ServiceAuthorizationBehavior>();
myServiceBehavior.PrincipalPermissionMode =
PrincipalPermissionMode.None;
