Kingdom: Security Features
Software security is not security software. Here we're concerned with topics like authentication, access control, confidentiality, cryptography, and privilege management.
Access Control: Amazon Web Services
Abstract
Accessing a SimpleDB database with a user-controlled item name and without proper access control can allow an attacker to view unauthorized records.
Explanation
Database access control errors occur when:
1. Data enters a program from an untrusted source.
2. The data is used to specify the item name in a SimpleDB access call.
Example 1: The following code operates on a database of invoices named after the date of their transaction. The program first authenticates customers and subsequently lets them select from a list previous invoices.
Although the code in
1. Data enters a program from an untrusted source.
2. The data is used to specify the item name in a SimpleDB access call.
Example 1: The following code operates on a database of invoices named after the date of their transaction. The program first authenticates customers and subsequently lets them select from a list previous invoices.
...
String selectedInvoice = request.getParameter("invoiceDate");
...
AmazonSimpleDBClient sdbc = new AmazonSimpleDBClient(appAWSCredentials);
GetAttributesResult sdbResult = sdbc.getAttributes(new GetAttributesRequest("invoices", selectedInvoice));
...
Although the code in
Example 1 generates a list of invoices that belong to the current user, an attacker might bypass this behavior to request any desired invoice. Because the code in this example does not check to ensure that the user has permission to access the requested invoice, it will display any invoice, even if it does not belong to the current user.References
