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.

WCF Misconfiguration: Weak Token

C#/VB.NET/ASP.NET

Abstract

Using a UsernameToken with a plain text password over an unencrypted channel exposes the password to attackers who can sniff the SOAP messages.

Explanation

Service Providers that use the UsernameToken might accept passwords sent in plain text. Sending plain text passwords over an unencrypted channel can expose the credential to attackers who can sniff the SOAP message.

The following WCF service provider configuration uses the UsernameToken:


     ...
     <security mode="Message">
	 <message clientCredentialType="UserName" />
     ...
