Abstract
The application bypasses authorization granted by the [Authorize] attribute with the use of an [AllowAnonymous] attribute at the class or method level.
Explanation
ASP.NET Core allows for application actions to require authorization by adding the [Authorize] attribute to a class or a method. Additionally, the specified authorization requirement of an application class or method can be bypassed by adding the [AllowAnonymous] attribute. When both are specified, the [AllowAnonymous] attribute takes precedence and bypasses the [Authorize] attribute. This can result in the arbitrary and anonymous access of sensitive data and actions by an attacker.

Example 1: The following example shows the [AllowAnonymous] attribute at the class level overriding an [Authorize] attribute set on the method. The secretAction() method does not require authorization despite having the [Authorize] attribute.


...
[AllowAnonymous]
public class Authorization_Test
{
[Authorize]
public IActionResult secretAction()
{

}
}
...
Example 2: The following example shows the [AllowAnonymous] attribute at the class level of a superclass overriding an [Authorize] attribute set on the method of a subclass. Due to the inherited class Inherit_AA having the [AllowAnonymous] attribute, the secretAction() method does not require authorization despite specifying the [Authorize] attribute.


...
[AllowAnonymous]
public abstract class Inherit_AA
{

}

public class Authorization_Test:Inherit_AA
{
[Authorize]
public IActionResult secretAction()
{

}
}
...
Example 3: The following shows the [AllowAnonymous] attribute overriding an [Authorize] attribute at the method level with inheritance. Due to the inherited method secretAction() having the [AllowAnonymous] attribute, the secretAction() method does not require authorization despite specifying the [Authorize] attribute on the overriding method.


...
public abstract class Inherit_AA
{
[AllowAnonymous]
public abstract IActionResult secretAction()
{

}
}

public class Authorization_Test:Inherit_AA
{
[Authorize]
public override IActionResult secretAction()
{

}
}
...

Abstract
Executing a SOQL statement without checking user permissions can allow an attacker to modify unauthorized entries.
Explanation
Access control vulnerabilities occur when an attacker can access resources that are restricted to only authorized users.

By default, Visualforce applications automatically enforce Object-level security (CRUD) and Field-level security (FLS) when SObjects and SObject fields are used. However, if objects and fields are referenced as generic data types, these mechanisms are not enforced and access control checks need to be implemented programmatically.

Example 1: In the following code example, fields are updated using custom setter methods, and therefore require authorization checks.

<apex:page controller="accessControl">
<apex:pageBlock >
<apex:pageBlockSection >
<apex:outputText value="Survey Name: "/>
<apex:inputText value="{!surveyName}"/>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:pageBlockSection >
<apex:outputText value="New Name: "/>
<apex:inputText value="{!newSurveyName}"/>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:pageBlockSection >
<apex:commandButton value="Update" action="{!updateName}"/>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>

public String surveyName { get; set; }
public String newSurveyName { get; set; }
public PageReference updateName() {
Survey__c s = [SELECT Name FROM Survey__c WHERE Name=:surveyName];

s.Name = newSurveyName;
update s;

PageReference page = ApexPages.currentPage();
page.setRedirect(true);
return page;
}

Abstract
The application allows an attacker to manipulate the Access Control Policy (ACP) on an AWS S3 bucket or object.
Explanation
The application allows an attacker to control the permissions granted to an AWS S3 bucket or object. This allows the attacker to set a weak policy that can enable them to read the content or write arbitrary files.

Example 1: The following code creates a new bucket using an Access Control Policy specified by the user.



String canned_acl = request.getParameter("acl");

CreateBucketRequest createBucketRequest = CreateBucketRequest.builder()
.bucket("foo")
.acl(canned_acl)
.createBucketConfiguration(CreateBucketConfiguration.builder().locationConstraint(region.id()).build())
.build();



Even if the application expects the acl parameter to be selected from a limited set, an attacker can set it to public-read-write and grant full anonymous access to the bucket.

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.


...
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.

Abstract
Without proper access control, executing a SQLite statement that contains a user-controlled primary key can allow an attacker to view unauthorized records.
Explanation
Access control errors occur in SQLite queries when:

1. Data enters a program from an untrusted source.


2. The data is used to specify the value of a primary key in a SQLite query.
Example 1: The following code uses a parameterized statement, which escapes metacharacters and prevents query string injection vulnerabilities, to construct and execute a SQLite query that searches for an invoice that matches a user-specified identifier.


...
id = this.getIntent().getExtras().getInt("id");
cursor = db.query(Uri.parse(invoices), columns, "id = ? ", {id}, null, null, null);
...


The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of id. Although the query generates a list of invoice identifiers 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 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.

Abstract
Without proper access control, executing an LDAP statement that contains a user-controlled value can allow an attacker to access unauthorized records.
Explanation
Executing LDAP queries under an anonymous bind, effectively without authentication, can allow an attacker to abuse a poorly configured LDAP environment.

Example 1: The following code creates the DirectoryEntry de using an anonymous bind.


...
de = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://ad.example.com:389/ou=People,dc=example,dc=com");
...


All LDAP queries executed against de will be performed without authentication and access control. An attacker may be able to manipulate one of these queries in an unexpected way to gain access to records that would otherwise be protected by the directory's access control mechanism.

desc.dataflow.dotnet.access_control_anonymous_ldap_bind
Abstract
Without proper access control, executing an LDAP statement that contains a user-controlled value can allow an attacker to access unauthorized records.
Explanation
Executing LDAP queries under an anonymous bind, effectively without authentication, can allow an attacker to abuse a poorly configured LDAP environment.

Example 1: The following code uses ldap_simple_bind_s() to bind anonymously to an LDAP directory.


...
rc = ldap_simple_bind_s( ld, NULL, NULL );
if ( rc != LDAP_SUCCESS ) {
...
}
...


All LDAP queries executed against ld will be performed without authentication and access control. An attacker may be able to manipulate one of these queries in an unexpected way to gain access to records that would otherwise be protected by the directory's access control mechanism.

Without proper access control, executing an LDAP statement that contains a user-controlled value can provide an attacker with access to unauthorized records.
Explanation
Executing LDAP queries under an anonymous bind, effectively without authentication, can enable an attacker to abuse a poorly configured LDAP environment.

Example 1: The following code creates an anonymous bind if the user enters an empty password.


...
$ldapbind = ldap_bind ($ldap, $dn, $password = "" );

All subsequent LDAP queries executed via this connection are performed without authentication and access control. An attacker might manipulate one of these queries in an unexpected way to gain access to records that would otherwise be protected by the directory's access control mechanism.

desc.semantic.php.access_control_anonymous_ldap_bind
Abstract
Methods that skip authorization checks based on an indicator, which is passed as a parameter, should not be called with a user-controlled indicator.
Explanation
Access Control: Authorization Bypass issues occur when:

1. Data enters a program through an untrusted source.

2. The user-controlled data is passed as a parameter to a method which causes the method to skip authorization checks within.
Example 1: The following code supplies a user-controlled indicator to a method that fetches employee data:

...
PARAMETERS: p_xfeld TYPE xfeld.
...
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_EMPLOYEE_GETDATA'
EXPORTING
employee_id = emp_id
authority_check = p_xfeld
IMPORTING
return = ret
TABLES
org_assignment = org_data
personal_data = pers_data
internal_control = con_data
communication = comm_data
archivelink = arlink.
...


If an attacker supplies whitespace for parameter p_xfeld, no authorization checks are performed before returning an employee's personal and contact information.

Abstract
Accessing an Azure Queue/Blob with a user-controlled value and without proper access control may allow an attacker to view/modify/delete unauthorized Queue/Blob and its messages/contents.
Explanation
Azure Cloud access control errors occur when:

1. Data enters a program from an untrusted source.


2. The data is used to view/modify/delete unauthorized queue/blob and its messages/contents.
Example 1: The following code deletes the given queue and its messages.


...
var queueName = queryStringData['name'];
var queueSvc;
queueSvc = azureStorage.createQueueService();
...
queueSvc.deleteQueue(queueName, option, function(error, response){
if(!error){
// all the messages has been deleted
}
});
...
Example 2: The following code deletes the given blob container and its contents.


...
var containerName = queryStringData['name'];
var blobSvc;
blobSvc = azureStorage.createBlobService();
...
blobSvc.deleteContainer(containerName, function (error, response) {
if (!error) {
// all the content in the given container has been deleted
}
});
...


Although the code in Example 1 and Example 2 delete the given queue/blob container and its messages/contents that belong to the current user/program, an attacker may delete any queue/blob for that Azure account. Because the code in this example does not check to ensure that the user/program has permission to clear the requested queue/blob, it will clear queue/blob, even if it does not belong to the current user/program.

Abstract
The applications compares an Android package with a user-controlled value in a case-insensitive way that might enable attackers to bypass access controls based on package names.
Explanation
On Android, package names are case sensitive and thus should be compared in a case-sensitive way. A malicious application may share a similar package with different case letters allowing him to bypass the access control.

Example 1: The following code performs an insecure string comparison for access control purposes:


public boolean isTrusted(String paramString) {
if (this._applicationContext.getPackageName().equalsIgnoreCase(paramString)) {
return true;
}

Abstract
Without proper access control, executing a SQL statement that contains a user-controlled primary key 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 value of a primary key in a SQL query.
Example 1: The following code uses a statement that relies on an integer and thus is not vulnerable to SQL injection vulnerabilities, to construct and execute a SQL query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier [1]. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.


DATA: id TYPE i.
...
id = request->get_form_field( 'invoiceID' ).

CONCATENATE `INVOICEID = '` id `'` INTO cl_where.
SELECT *
FROM invoices
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab_invoices
WHERE (cl_where).
ENDSELECT.
...


The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of ID. Although the interface generates a list of invoice identifiers that belong to the current user, an attacker might bypass this interface 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.

Abstract
Without proper access control, executing a SQL statement that contains a user-controlled primary key 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 value of a primary key in a SQL query.
Example 1: The following code uses a parameterized statement, which escapes metacharacters and prevents SQL injection vulnerabilities, to construct and execute a SQL query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier [1]. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.


...
var params:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
var id:int = int(Number(params["invoiceID"]));
var query:String = "SELECT * FROM invoices WHERE id = :id";

stmt.sqlConnection = conn;
stmt.text = query;
stmt.parameters[":id"] = id;
stmt.execute();
...


The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of id. Although the interface generates a list of invoice identifiers that belong to the current user, an attacker might bypass this interface 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.

Abstract
Without proper access control, executing a SOQL/SOSL statement that may contain a user-supplied primary key 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 value of a primary key in a SOQL/SOSL query.
Example 1: In the following code example, inputID value is originated from a pre-defined list, and a bind variable helps to prevent SOQL/SOSL injection.


...
result = [SELECT Name, Phone FROM Contact WHERE (IsDeleted = false AND Id=:inputID)];
...


The problem with the previous example is that using a pre-defined list of IDs is insufficient to prevent the user from modifying the value of inputID. If the attacker is able to bypass the interface and send a request with a different value he will have access to other contact information. Since the code in this example does not check to ensure that the user has permission to access the requested contact, it will display any contact, even if the user is not authorized to see it.

Without proper access control, executing an LINQ statement that contains a user-controlled primary key 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 value of a primary key in an LINQ query.
Example 1: The following code executes an LINQ query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier [1]. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.


...

int16 id = System.Convert.ToInt16(invoiceID.Text);
var invoice = OrderSystem.getInvoices()
.Where(new Invoice { invoiceID = id });
...


The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of id. Although the interface generates a list of invoice identifiers that belong to the current user, an attacker might bypass this interface 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.

Explanation
Database access control errors occur when:

2. The data is used to specify the value of a primary key in a SQL query.
Example 1: The following code uses a parameterized statement, which escapes metacharacters and prevents SQL injection vulnerabilities, to construct and execute a SQL query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier [1]. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.

Abstract
Without proper access control, executing a SQL statement that contains a user-controlled primary key can give an attacker access to 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 value of a primary key in a SQL query.
Example 1: The following code uses a parameterized statement, which escapes metacharacters and prevents SQL injection vulnerabilities, to construct and execute a SQL query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier [1]. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.


...
id := request.FormValue("invoiceID")
query := "SELECT * FROM invoices WHERE id = ?";
rows, err := db.Query(query, id)
...


The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of id. Although the interface generates a list of invoice identifiers that belong to the current user, an attacker might bypass this interface 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.

Abstract
Without proper access control, executing a SQL statement that contains a user-controlled primary key 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 value of a primary key in a SQL query.
Example 1: The following code uses a parameterized statement, which escapes metacharacters and prevents SQL injection vulnerabilities, to construct and execute a SQL query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier [1]. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.


...
id = Integer.decode(request.getParameter("invoiceID"));
String query = "SELECT * FROM invoices WHERE id = ?";
PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement(query);
stmt.setInt(1, id);
ResultSet results = stmt.execute();
...


The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of id. Although the interface generates a list of invoice identifiers that belong to the current user, an attacker might bypass this interface 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.

Some think that in the mobile world, classic web application vulnerabilities, such as database access control errors, do not make sense -- why would the user attack themself? However, keep in mind that the essence of mobile platforms is applications that are downloaded from various sources and run alongside each other on the same device. The likelihood of running a piece of malware next to a banking application is high, which necessitates expanding the attack surface of mobile applications to include inter-process communication.

Example 2: The following code adapts Example 1 to the Android platform.


...
String id = this.getIntent().getExtras().getString("invoiceID");
String query = "SELECT * FROM invoices WHERE id = ?";
SQLiteDatabase db = this.openOrCreateDatabase("DB", MODE_PRIVATE, null);
Cursor c = db.rawQuery(query, new Object[]{id});
...


A number of modern web frameworks provide mechanisms to perform user input validation (including Struts and Struts 2). To highlight the unvalidated sources of input, Fortify Secure Coding Rulepacks dynamically re-prioritize the issues Fortify Static Code Analyzer reports by lowering their probability of exploit and providing pointers to the supporting evidence whenever the framework validation mechanism is in use. We refer to this feature as Context-Sensitive Ranking. To further assist the Fortify user with the auditing process, the Fortify Software Security Research group makes available the Data Validation project template that groups the issues into folders based on the validation mechanism applied to their source of input.

Abstract
Without proper access control, the identified method can execute a SQL statement that contains an attacker-controlled primary key, thereby allowing the attacker to access 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 value of a primary key in a SQL query.
Example 1: The following code uses a parameterized statement, which escapes metacharacters and prevents SQL injection vulnerabilities, to construct and execute a SQL query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.


...

NSManagedObjectContext *context = [appDelegate managedObjectContext];
NSEntityDescription *entityDesc = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Invoices" inManagedObjectContext:context];
NSFetchRequest *request = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
[request setEntity:entityDesc];
NSPredicate *pred = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"(id = %@)", invoiceId.text];
[request setPredicate:pred];

NSManagedObject *matches = nil;
NSError *error;
NSArray *objects = [context executeFetchRequest:request error:&error];

if ([objects count] == 0) {
status.text = @"No records found.";
} else {
matches = [objects objectAtIndex:0];
invoiceReferenceNumber.text = [matches valueForKey:@"invRefNum"];
orderNumber.text = [matches valueForKey:@"orderNumber"];
status.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d records found", [objects count]];
}
[request release];
...


The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of id. Although the interface generates a list of invoice identifiers that belong to the current user, an attacker might bypass this interface 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.

A number of modern web frameworks provide mechanisms to perform user input validation (including Struts and Struts 2). To highlight the unvalidated sources of input, Fortify Secure Coding Rulepacks dynamically re-prioritize the issues Fortify Static Code Analyzer reports by lowering their probability of exploit and providing pointers to the supporting evidence whenever the framework validation mechanism is in use. We refer to this feature as Context-Sensitive Ranking. To further assist the Fortify user with the auditing process, the Fortify Software Security Research group makes available the Data Validation project template that groups the issues into folders based on the validation mechanism applied to their source of input.

id = request.POST['id']
c = db.cursor()
stmt = c.execute("SELECT * FROM invoices WHERE id = %s", (id,))
...


The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of id. Although the interface generates a list of invoice identifiers that belong to the current user, an attacker might bypass this interface 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.

Abstract
Without proper access control, executing a SQL statement that contains a user-controlled primary key 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 value of a primary key in a SQL query.
Example 1: The following code uses a parameterized statement, which escapes metacharacters and prevents SQL injection vulnerabilities, to construct and execute a SQL query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier [1]. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.


...
id = req['invoiceID'].respond_to(:to_int)
query = "SELECT * FROM invoices WHERE id=?"
stmt = conn.prepare(query)
stmt.execute(id)
...


The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of id. Although the interface generates a list of invoice identifiers that belong to the current user, an attacker might bypass this interface 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.

Abstract
Without proper access control, the identified method can execute a SQL statement that contains an attacker-controlled primary key, thereby allowing the attacker to access 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 value of a primary key in a SQL query.
Example 1: The following code uses a parameterized statement, which escapes metacharacters and prevents SQL injection vulnerabilities, to construct and execute a SQL query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.


...
let fetchRequest = NSFetchRequest()
let entity = NSEntityDescription.entityForName("Invoices", inManagedObjectContext: managedContext)
fetchRequest.entity = entity
let pred : NSPredicate = NSPredicate(format:"(id = %@)", invoiceId.text)
fetchRequest.setPredicate = pred
do {
let results = try managedContext.executeFetchRequest(fetchRequest)
let result : NSManagedObject = results.first!
invoiceReferenceNumber.text = result.valueForKey("invRefNum")
orderNumber.text = result.valueForKey("orderNumber")
status.text = "\(results.count) records found"
} catch let error as NSError {
print("Error \(error)")
}
...


The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of id. Although the interface generates a list of invoice identifiers that belong to the current user, an attacker might bypass this interface 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.

Abstract
Without proper access control, executing a SQL statement that contains a user-controlled primary key 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 value of a primary key in a SQL query.
Example 1: The following code uses a parameterized statement, which escapes metacharacters and prevents SQL injection vulnerabilities, to construct and execute a SQL query that searches for an invoice matching the specified identifier [1]. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.


...
id = Request.Form("invoiceID")
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM invoices WHERE id = ?"
objADOCommand.CommandText = strSQL
objADOCommand.CommandType = adCmdText
set objADOParameter = objADOCommand.CreateParameter("id" , adString, adParamInput, 0, 0)
objADOCommand.Parameters("id") = id
...



The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of id. Although the interface generates a list of invoice identifiers that belong to the current user, an attacker might bypass this interface 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.

Abstract
Without proper access control, executing an EXEC DLI command that contains a user-controlled primary key can allow an attacker to view unauthorized records.
Explanation
DLI access control errors occur when:

1. Data enters a program from an untrusted source.


2. The data is used to specify the value of a primary key in an EXEC DLI command.
Example 1: The following code uses a parameterized statement, which escapes metacharacters and prevents injection vulnerabilities, to construct and execute an EXEC DLI command that retrieves an invoice matching the specified identifier. The identifier is selected from a list of all invoices associated with the current authenticated user.


...
ACCEPT ID.
EXEC DLI
GU
SEGMENT(INVOICES)
WHERE (INVOICEID = ID)
END-EXEC.
...


The problem is that the developer has failed to consider all of the possible values of ID. Although the interface generates a list of invoice identifiers that belong to the current user, an attacker might bypass this interface 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.

Abstract
The application sets a property that allows unvalidated input to native APIs and may lead to an attacker being able to bypass authentication.
Explanation
By default, the ASP.NET forms authentication validates the user credentials before passing it to native APIs during the authentication process. The issue is, this functionality can be modified using the aspnet:UseLegacyFormsAuthenticationTicketCompatibility setting to allow unvalidated input to be passed to the native APIs and may lead to an attacker being able to bypass authentication. An attacker who successfully exploites this vulnerability would be able to bypass ASP.NET forms authentication for any known username without its password. The attacker could then take any action in the context of the victim user, including executing arbitrary commands on the site.

Example 1: In the following example, aspnet:UseLegacyFormsAuthenticationTicketCompatibility is set to true.

...
<appSettings>
<add key="aspnet:UseLegacyFormsAuthenticationTicketCompatibility" value="true" />
</appSettings>
...

Explanation
The Metadata class is often used to house header data for an underlying protocol used by Google Remote Procedure Call (gRPC). When implementing the io.grpc.ServerInterceptor class, Metadata object should be validated and return error if exception is thrown.

Example 1: The following code shows user controllable data used as input to a gRPC Metadata object which is passing to the next io.grpc.ServerCallHandler object after catching exception:


class PotentialAuthByPassInterceptor implements ServerInterceptor {
@Override
public <ReqT, RespT> ServerCall.Listener<ReqT> interceptCall(ServerCall<ReqT, RespT> call, Metadata metadata, ServerCallHandler<ReqT, RespT> next) {
try {
customValidate(metadata);
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
return next.startCall(call, metadata);
}
...
return Contexts.interceptCall(Context.current(), call, metadata, next);
}
}

desc.structural.java.access_control_grpc_fail_open
Abstract
Without proper access control, executing an LDAP statement that contains a user-controlled value can allow an attacker to access unauthorized directory entries.
Explanation
Database access control errors occur when:

1. Data enters a program from an untrusted source.

2. The data is used to specify a data value in an LDAP query.
Example 1: The employee ID of the current authenticated user is automatically submitted with each request by the client-side interface. The following code properly validates an employee name using an allow list before using it to construct an LDAP query. This validation prevents LDAP injection vulnerabilities, but may still leave the code vulnerable.


static string AllowlistVerify(string name) {
Regex pattern = new Regex(@"^[a-zA-Z\-\.']+$");
if (pattern.IsMatch(name)) {
return name;
}
return null;
}

...
string verifiedName = AllowlistVerify(managerName.Text.trim());
if(verifiedName != null) {
DirectorySearcher src = new DirectorySearcher("(manager=" + verifiedName + ")");
src.SearchRoot = de;
src.SearchScope = SearchScope.Subtree;

foreach(SearchResult res in src.FindAll()) {
...
}
}


The problem is that the developer has failed to consider what would happen if an attacker provides alternate values of empName. Although the interface automatically submits the employee ID of the current user, an attacker could submit an alternative value as part of a malicious request. Because the code in this example executes the query under an anonymous bind, it will return the directory entry for any valid employee ID, regardless of the identity of the current authenticated user.

Explanation
Database access control errors occur when:

1. Data enters a program from an untrusted source.

2. The data is used to specify a data value in an LDAP query.
Example 1: The following code uses an allow list to validate an employee name read from a socket before using it to construct an LDAP query. This validation prevents LDAP injection vulnerabilities, but may still leave the code vulnerable.


char* allowlist_verify(char* name) {
const char *error;
int errOffset;
char* regex = "^[a-zA-Z\\-\\.']+$";
pcre* re = pcre_compile(regex, 0, &err, &errOffset, NULL);
int rc = pcre_exec(re, NULL, name, strlen(name), 0, 0, NULL, 0);
if (rc == 1)
return name;
return NULL;
}
...
fgets(managerName, sizeof(managerName), socket);
char* verified_name = allowlist_verify(managerName);
if(verified_name != NULL) {
snprintf(filter, sizeof(filter), "(manager=%s)", verified_name);
if ( ( rc = ldap_search_ext_s( ld, FIND_DN, LDAP_SCOPE_BASE,
filter, NULL, 0, NULL, NULL, LDAP_NO_LIMIT,
LDAP_NO_LIMIT, &result ) ) == LDAP_SUCCESS ) {
...
}
}


The problem is that the developer has failed to consider what would happen if an attacker provides alternate values of username. Because the code in this example executes the query under an anonymous bind, it will return the directory entry for any valid employee ID, regardless of the identity of the current authenticated user.

Abstract
The target web application contains a page with sensitive information or privileged functionality that does not require authentication.
Explanation
Any area of a website or web application that contains sensitive information or privileged functionality such as a remote administration panel must require authentication to access. If this is not the case, an attacker can take control of or steal sensitive information from a target website or web application by simply browsing to the sensitive page.

Abstract
Without proper authorization checks, the program may allow an unauthorized user to start a restricted transaction.
Explanation
Whenever a user manually starts a new transaction, SAP system automatically checks if the user is authorized to execute the transaction. However, these checks are not done by default when a user programmatically starts a new transaction by calling the CALL TRANSACTION statement. If there is no explicit authorization check performed before this statement, the user running the ABAP program will be able to start a transaction that is otherwise not allowed.

Example 1: The following code calls a transaction that can execute any ABAP program.


...
CALL TRANSACTION 'SA38'.
...


In this case, an otherwise unauthorized user running the code will be able to start any ABAP program thereby potentially gaining complete control of the system.

desc.structural.abap.access_control_missing_authorization_check
Abstract
Failure to convert request URLs into their canonical form before performing URL authorization can allow attackers to bypass Basic Authentication and gain unauthorized access to resources.
Explanation
An attacker can bypass URL-based authentication schemes when:
1. A system uses the canonical representation of URL to serve a resource but
2. The authorization mechanism used by the system performs authorization checks on the non-canonical form of the URL
Example 1:
If http://www.example.com/ProtectedDirectory/ProtectedFile.html is a protected resource and an attacker requests http://www.example.com/ProtectedDirectory/./ProtectedFile.html, they might be able to gain access to the resource if the authorization module explicitly matches against the URL http://www.example.com/ProtectedDirectory/ProtectedFile.html.

Abstract
Allowing user input to control the fields of the MQ object descriptor could enable an attacker to access or modify otherwise protected MQ resources.
Explanation
If an attacker can supply values that the application then uses to determine what kinds of authorization checks to perform on opening an MQ object, the potential exists for an attacker to pass all the access control checks when attempting to open otherwise inaccessible object.

Example 1: The following COBOL code snippet reads values from the terminal and uses them to control MQOD-ALTERNATEUSERID and MQOD-ALTERNATESECURITYID fields of the MQ object descriptor.


...
10 MQOD.
** Alternate user identifier
15 MQOD-ALTERNATEUSERID PIC X(12).
** Alternate security identifier
15 MQOD-ALTERNATESECURITYID PIC X(40).
...
...
ACCEPT MQOD-ALTERNATEUSERID.
ACCEPT MQOD-ALTERNATESECURITYID.
CALL 'MQOPEN' USING HCONN, MQOD, OPTS, HOBJ, COMPOCODE REASON.
...


In this example, an attacker could supply values that allow them to pass access control checks on the MQ object eing opened.

In general, do not allow user-provided or otherwise untrusted data to control sensitive values.
