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.
Password Management: Password in Configuration File
Abstract
Storing a plain text password in a configuration file could result in a system compromise.
Explanation
Storing a plain text password in a configuration file allows anyone who can read the file access to the password-protected resource. Developers sometimes believe that they cannot defend the application from someone who has access to the configuration, but this attitude makes an attacker's job easier. Good password management guidelines require that a password never be stored in plain text.

Abstract
Storing a plain text password in a configuration file could compromise a system.
Explanation
Storing a plain text password in a configuration file gives anyone who can read the file access to the password-protected resource. Developers sometimes believe that they cannot defend the application from someone who has access to the configuration, but this attitude makes an attacker's job easier. When a password is included in Dockerfiles, any user of that image has access to the password.
The following commands can be used to get the secrets:

desc.config.java.password_management_password_in_configuration_file
Abstract
Hardcoded passwords can compromise system security in a way that is difficult to remedy.
Explanation
Never hardcode passwords. Not only does it expose the password to all of the project's developers, it also makes fixing the problem extremely difficult. After the code is in production, a program patch is probably the only way to change the password. If the account the password protects is compromised, the system owners must choose between security and availability.

Abstract
Hardcoded passwords can compromise system security in a way that is difficult to remedy.
Explanation
Never hardcode passwords. Not only does it expose the password to all of the project's developers, it also makes fixing the problem extremely difficult. After the code is in production, a program patch is probably the only way to change the password. If the account the password protects is compromised, the system owners must choose between security and availability.
Example: The following XML uses a hardcoded password:
This configuration may be valid, but anyone who has access to the configuration will have access to the password. After the program is released, changing the default user account "scott" with a password of "tiger" is difficult. Anyone with access to this information can use it to break into the system.
Example: The following XML uses a hardcoded password:
...
<user>
<username>scott</username>
<secretPassword>tiger</secretPassword>
</user>
...
This configuration may be valid, but anyone who has access to the configuration will have access to the password. After the program is released, changing the default user account "scott" with a password of "tiger" is difficult. Anyone with access to this information can use it to break into the system.
