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.

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.

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.

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.

Abstract
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.

desc.dataflow.dart.access_control_database
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, 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 id = document.form.invoiceID.value;
var query = "SELECT * FROM invoices WHERE id = ?";
db.transaction(function (tx) {
tx.executeSql(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.

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, 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.


procedure get_item (
itm_cv IN OUT ItmCurTyp,
id in varchar2)
is
open itm_cv for ' SELECT * FROM items WHERE ' ||
'invoiceID = :invid' ||
using id;
end get_item;


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
A Google Remote Procedure Call (gRPC) Metadata object is being accepted despite failing validation.
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.

Abstract

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
Invoking this function on untrusted code can allow attackers access to restricted packages and provides them with the ability to execute arbitrary code.
Explanation
Java APIs that perform tasks using the immediate caller's class loader check should be used with caution. These APIs bypass the SecurityManager check that ensures all callers in the execution chain have been granted the requisite security permission. Access checks against the immediate caller's class loader alone can result in privilege escalation issues whereby some caller in the execution chain is able to access resources without the required permissions. These APIs, thus, should not be invoked on behalf of untrusted code, as it may compromise system security.



Java Applets from an untrusted source or in an untrusted environment with access to these APIs can execute malicious code and compromise system security.

Abstract
Weak security constraints do not provide adequate protection for security-critical resources.
Explanation


A single <security constraint> element suggests the program does not employ role-based access control, which is commonly accepted best practice for protecting sensitive operations in secure web applications. If the application provides access to sensitive operations or data, there might not be sufficient controls in place to prevent unauthorized users from gaining access. Furthermore, if there is a wildcard (*) in the <url-pattern>, it can be an indication that the pattern is overly broad.

desc.config.java.access_control_weak_security_constraint
Abstract
The method call changes an access specifier.
Explanation
The AccessibleObject API allows the programmer to get around the access control checks provided by Java access specifiers. In particular it enables the programmer to allow a reflected object to bypass Java access controls and in turn change the value of private fields or invoke private methods, behaviors that are normally disallowed.

Abstract
Allowing users jump between HTTP and HTTPS leaves the application vulnerable to session hijacking.
Explanation
Many applications use cookies to communicate a user's session identifier. When the application is accessed over HTTPS, cookies are protected (attackers are unable to sniff them). But if developers allow HTTP access to non-sensitive parts of the application, the session identifier can be stolen. When a user browses to an unprotected part of the site, the cookie, containing the session ID, is sent in the clear. If attackers sniff the traffic, they can see the session ID and use it to take control of the user's session.


The following example shows a configuration that mixes insecure and secure channels:

Abstract
Using the Run-As authentication replacement feature in Acegi can lead to a privilege escalation vulnerability.
Explanation
Acegi Security allows for temporarily replacing the Authentication object in the SecurityContext during the secure object callback phase. This only occurs if the original Authentication object was successfully processed by the AuthenticationManager and AccessDecisionManager. The RunAsManager creates this Authentication object.
Typically developers use RunAsManager to configure one or more additional roles for an authenticated user for the duration of a method invocation. This is useful for a secure bean that needs to access a remote application. Since the remote application might demand different credentials, this allows translating between calling roles and those needed by the remote application so that the remote access can succeed. The new Authentication object (called RunAsUserToken) will be simply accepted as a valid Authentication object without any further authentication or authorization check.
Adding new roles or privileges to the new Authentication object has the potential to temporarily elevate the user's privileges, allowing the user to take an unauthorized action.
The following configuration shows using RunAsManager to add the role "UBER_BOSS" to a user who has the role "ROLE_PEON", thus temporarily elevating this user to have manager privileges, which enables all peons to get data from the PrivateCatalog.

Abstract
Relying on an implicit default url-invoke-disallowed setting lacks clarity and can lead to unwanted behavior if the default changes unexpectedly.
Explanation
By default, task flows in a Fusion application are not directly accessible from a GET request: whenever a URL attempts to invoke the task flow, it receives an HTTP 403 status code. However, relying on an implicit setting always lacks clarity and can potentially lead to unwanted behavior if the default setting changes underneath.

Example 1: The following snippet from a task flow definition file shows an example of a task flow configured with the implicit default url-invoke-disallowed setting.

Abstract
An Oracle ADF Faces bookmarkable view is missing a URL parameter converter.
Explanation
In a regular JSF application, values are converted and validated using converters and validators specified by the UI components. The conversion and validation itself happens when the page is submitted. A bookmarkable view in a Fusion application results in no page submission, and therefore no similar conversion or validation is performed by default.

Example 1: The following configuration file snippet shows a sample bookmarkable view that is configured to perform no conversion or validation of the paramName URL parameter.


...
<bookmark>
<method>#{paramHandler.handleParams}</method>
<url-parameter>
<name>paramName</name>
<value>#{requestScope.paramName}</value>
</url-parameter>
</bookmark>

Abstract
The unsecure attribute specifies a list of attributes whose values can be set on the client.
Explanation
The values of attributes for Oracle ADF Faces components can ordinarily be set only on the server. However, a number of components allow the developer to define a list of attributes that can be set on the client. unsecure attribute of these components can specify such a list.

Currently, the only attribute that can appear inside the unsecure attribute is disabled, and it allows the client to define which components are enabled and which ones are not. It is never a good idea to let the client control the values of attributes that should only be settable on the server.

Example 1: The following code demonstrates an inputText component that collects password information from the user and uses the unsecure attribute.


...
<af:inputText id="pwdBox"
label="#{resources.PWD}"
value=""#{userBean.password}
unsecure="disabled"
secret="true"
required="true"/>

Abstract
The application holds encryption keys in static class fields, allowing for easy recovery by attackers.
Explanation
Storing encryption keys in static class fields allows easy recovery by an entity that can access the process memory (e.g. rooted device) or process memory dumps (e.g. crash dumps).

Abstract
The program declares a content provider with only the writePermission defined.
Explanation
While it is a good idea to define separate read and write permissions for content providers, defining only the writePermission could be misleading. Due to the nature of SQL, generating true write-only queries is generally impossible: even when the user does not have direct access to the data, an attacker may reconstruct the stored data by manipulating the where clause.

Example 1: The following is an example of a content provider declared with only the writePermission.

 <provider android:name=".ContentProvider" android:writePermission="content.permission.WRITE_CONTENT"/>

Abstract
Debug code may affect performance or leak sensitive data to an attacker.
Explanation
A common development practice is to add "back door" code specifically designed for debugging or testing purposes that is not intended to be shipped or deployed with the application. When this sort of debug code is accidentally left in the application, the application is open to unintended modes of interaction. These back door entry points create security risks because they are not considered during design or testing and fall outside of the expected operating conditions of the application.
