Abstract
The class is annotated as immutable, but a field is mutated.
Explanation
This class has been annotated with the annotation Immutable, from the JCIP annotations package. However, one of the mutable fields of the class had a mutating method called on it outside of the constructor and destructor.

Example 1: The following code for an immutable final class declares a Set private and final, then mistakenly creates a method that mutates the Set.


@Immutable
public final class ThreeStooges {
private final Set stooges = new HashSet>();
...

public void addStooge(String name) {
stooges.add(name);
}
...
}

Abstract
The class is annotated as immutable, but a field is mutated.
Explanation
This class has been annotated with the annotation Immutable, from the JCIP annotations package. A public field of a mutable type allows code external to the class to modify the contents and violate the immutability of the class.

Example 1: The following code for an immutable final class mistakenly declares a Set public and final.


@Immutable

desc.structural.java.immutable_public_mutable_fields
Abstract
Use of Java applets can lead to sensitive information disclosure.
Explanation
Programmers often entrust the applet code with sensitive information without realizing that applets can be easily decompiled and can expose any sensitive data hardcoded in the code. An attacker could decompile the applet and gain access to confidential information, including any hard-coded passwords and keys, within the applet. Java applets pose various risks including:

- Intellectual property theft
- Understanding of the security controls implemented by the application
- Extraction of confidential information, such as hard-coded passwords and keys
- Malicious alterations to the code with the purpose of compromising unsuspecting application users

Abstract
Standard pseudorandom number generators cannot withstand cryptographic attacks.
Explanation
Insecure randomness errors occur when a function that can produce predictable values is used as a source of randomness in a security-sensitive context.

Computers are deterministic machines, and as such are unable to produce true randomness. Pseudorandom Number Generators (PRNGs) approximate randomness algorithmically, starting with a seed from which subsequent values are calculated.

There are two types of PRNGs: statistical and cryptographic. Statistical PRNGs provide useful statistical properties, but their output is highly predictable and form an easy to reproduce numeric stream that is unsuitable for use in cases where security depends on generated values being unpredictable. Cryptographic PRNGs address this problem by generating output that is more difficult to predict. For a value to be cryptographically secure, it must be impossible or highly improbable for an attacker to distinguish between the generated random value and a truly random value. In general, if a PRNG algorithm is not advertised as being cryptographically secure, then it is probably a statistical PRNG and should not be used in security-sensitive contexts, where its use can lead to serious vulnerabilities such as easy-to-guess temporary passwords, predictable cryptographic keys, session hijacking, and DNS spoofing.

Example 1: The following code uses a statistical PRNG to create a URL for a receipt that remains active for some period of time after a purchase.


FORM GenerateReceiptURL CHANGING baseUrl TYPE string.
DATA: r TYPE REF TO cl_abap_random,
var1 TYPE i,
var2 TYPE i,
var3 TYPE n.


GET TIME.
var1 = sy-uzeit.
r = cl_abap_random=>create( seed = var1 ).
r->int31( RECEIVING value = var2 ).
var3 = var2.
CONCATENATE baseUrl var3 ".html" INTO baseUrl.
ENDFORM.


This code uses the CL_ABAP_RANDOM->INT31 function to generate "unique" identifiers for the receipt pages it generates. Since CL_ABAP_RANDOM is a statistical PRNG, it is easy for an attacker to guess the strings it generates. Although the underlying design of the receipt system is also faulty, it would be more secure if it used a random number generator that did not produce predictable receipt identifiers, such as a cryptographic PRNG.

Abstract
Standard pseudorandom number generators cannot withstand cryptographic attacks.
Explanation
Insecure randomness errors occur when a function that can produce predictable values is used as a source of randomness in a security-sensitive context.

Computers are deterministic machines, and as such are unable to produce true randomness. Pseudorandom Number Generators (PRNGs) approximate randomness algorithmically, starting with a seed from which subsequent values are calculated.

There are two types of PRNGs: statistical and cryptographic. Statistical PRNGs provide useful statistical properties, but their output is highly predictable and form an easy to reproduce numeric stream that is unsuitable for use in cases where security depends on generated values being unpredictable. Cryptographic PRNGs address this problem by generating output that is more difficult to predict. For a value to be cryptographically secure, it must be impossible or highly improbable for an attacker to distinguish between the generated random value and a truly random value. In general, if a PRNG algorithm is not advertised as being cryptographically secure, then it is probably a statistical PRNG and should not be used in security-sensitive contexts, where its use can lead to serious vulnerabilities such as easy-to-guess temporary passwords, predictable cryptographic keys, session hijacking, and DNS spoofing.

Example 1: The following code uses a statistical PRNG to create a URL for a receipt that remains active for some period of time after a purchase.


string GenerateReceiptURL(string baseUrl) {
Random Gen = new Random();
return (baseUrl + Gen.Next().toString() + ".html");
}


This code uses the Random.Next() function to generate "unique" identifiers for the receipt pages it generates. Since Random.Next() is a statistical PRNG, it is easy for an attacker to guess the strings it generates. Although the underlying design of the receipt system is also faulty, it would be more secure if it used a random number generator that did not produce predictable receipt identifiers, such as a cryptographic PRNG.

Abstract
Standard pseudorandom number generators cannot withstand cryptographic attacks.
Explanation
Insecure randomness errors occur when a function that can produce predictable values is used as a source of randomness in a security-sensitive context.

Computers are deterministic machines, and as such are unable to produce true randomness. Pseudorandom Number Generators (PRNGs) approximate randomness algorithmically, starting with a seed from which subsequent values are calculated.

There are two types of PRNGs: statistical and cryptographic. Statistical PRNGs provide useful statistical properties, but their output is highly predictable and form an easy to reproduce numeric stream that is unsuitable for use in cases where security depends on generated values being unpredictable. Cryptographic PRNGs address this problem by generating output that is more difficult to predict. For a value to be cryptographically secure, it must be impossible or highly improbable for an attacker to distinguish between the generated random value and a truly random value. In general, if a PRNG algorithm is not advertised as being cryptographically secure, it is probably a statistical PRNG and should not be used in security-sensitive contexts, where its use can lead to serious vulnerabilities such as easy-to-guess temporary passwords, predictable cryptographic keys, session hijacking, and DNS spoofing.

Example 1: The following code uses a statistical PRNG to create a URL for a receipt that remains active for some period of time after a purchase.


char* CreateReceiptURL() {
int num;
time_t t1;
char *URL = (char*) malloc(MAX_URL);
if (URL) {
(void) time(&t1);
srand48((long) t1); /* use time to set seed */
sprintf(URL, "%s%d%s", "http://test.com/", lrand48(), ".html");
}
return URL;
}


This code uses the lrand48() function to generate "unique" identifiers for the receipt pages it generates. Since lrand48() is a statistical PRNG, it is easy for an attacker to guess the strings it generates. Although the underlying design of the receipt system is also faulty, it would be more secure if it used a random number generator that did not produce predictable receipt identifiers.

rsa.GenerateKey(mathRand, 2048)


This code uses the rand.New() function to generate randomness for an RSA key. Since rand.New() is a statistical PRNG, it is easy for an attacker to guess the value it generates.

There are two types of PRNGs: statistical and cryptographic. Statistical PRNGs provide useful statistical properties, but their output is highly predictable and form an easy to reproduce numeric stream that is unsuitable for use in cases where security depends on generated values being unpredictable. Cryptographic PRNGs address this problem by generating output that is more difficult to predict. For a value to be cryptographically secure, it must be impossible or highly improbable for an attacker to distinguish between the generated random value and a truly random value. In general, if a PRNG algorithm is not advertised as being cryptographically secure, then it is probably a statistical PRNG and should not be used in security-sensitive contexts, where its use can lead to serious vulnerabilities such as easy-to-guess temporary passwords, predictable cryptographic keys, session hijacking, and DNS spoofing.

Example 1: The following code uses a statistical PRNG to create a URL for a receipt that remains active for some period of time after a purchase.


String GenerateReceiptURL(String baseUrl) {
Random ranGen = new Random();
ranGen.setSeed((new Date()).getTime());
return (baseUrl + ranGen.nextInt(400000000) + ".html");
}


This code uses the Random.nextInt() function to generate "unique" identifiers for the receipt pages it generates. Since Random.nextInt() is a statistical PRNG, it is easy for an attacker to guess the strings it generates. Although the underlying design of the receipt system is also faulty, it would be more secure if it used a random number generator that did not produce predictable receipt identifiers, such as a cryptographic PRNG.

Abstract
Standard pseudorandom number generators cannot withstand cryptographic attacks.
Explanation
Insecure randomness errors occur when a function that can produce predictable values is used as a source of randomness in a security-sensitive context.

Computers are deterministic machines, and as such are unable to produce true randomness. Pseudorandom Number Generators (PRNGs) approximate randomness algorithmically, starting with a seed from which subsequent values are calculated.

There are two types of PRNGs: statistical and cryptographic. Statistical PRNGs provide useful statistical properties, but their output is highly predictable and form an easy to reproduce numeric stream that is unsuitable for use in cases where security depends on generated values being unpredictable. Cryptographic PRNGs address this problem by generating output that is more difficult to predict. For a value to be cryptographically secure, it must be impossible or highly improbable for an attacker to distinguish between the generated random value and a truly random value. In general, if a PRNG algorithm is not advertised as being cryptographically secure, it is probably a statistical PRNG and should not be used in security-sensitive contexts, where its use can lead to serious vulnerabilities such as easy-to-guess temporary passwords, predictable cryptographic keys, session hijacking, and DNS spoofing.

Example: The following code uses a statistical PRNG to create a URL for a receipt that remains active for some period of time after a purchase.


CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION CREATE_RECEIPT_URL
RETURN VARCHAR2
AS
rnum VARCHAR2(48);
time TIMESTAMP;
url VARCHAR2(MAX_URL)
BEGIN
time := SYSTIMESTAMP;
DBMS_RANDOM.SEED(time);
rnum := DBMS_RANDOM.STRING('x', 48);
url := 'http://test.com/' || rnum || '.html';
RETURN url;
END


This code uses the DBMS_RANDOM.SEED() function to generate "unique" identifiers for the receipt pages it generates. Since DBMS_RANDOM.SEED() is a statistical PRNG, it is easy for an attacker to guess the strings it generates. Although the underlying design of the receipt system is also faulty, it would be more secure if it used a random number generator that did not produce predictable receipt identifiers.

Cryptographic PRNGs address this problem by generating output that is more difficult to predict. For a value to be cryptographically secure, it must be impossible or highly improbable for an attacker to distinguish between the generated random value and a truly random value. In general, if a PRNG algorithm is not advertised as being cryptographically secure, then it is probably a statistical PRNG and should not be used in security-sensitive contexts, where its use can lead to serious vulnerabilities such as easy-to-guess temporary passwords, predictable cryptographic keys, session hijacking, and DNS spoofing.

Example 1: The following code uses a statistical PRNG to create a URL for a receipt that remains active for some period of time after a purchase.


def GenerateReceiptURL(baseUrl : String) : String {
val ranGen = new scala.util.Random()
ranGen.setSeed((new Date()).getTime())
return (baseUrl + ranGen.nextInt(400000000) + ".html")
}


This code uses the Random.nextInt() function to generate "unique" identifiers for the receipt pages it generates. Since Random.nextInt() is a statistical PRNG, it is easy for an attacker to guess the strings it generates. Although the underlying design of the receipt system is also faulty, it would be more secure if it used a random number generator that did not produce predictable receipt identifiers, such as a cryptographic PRNG.

Abstract
Standard pseudorandom number generators cannot withstand cryptographic attacks.
Explanation
Insecure randomness errors occur when a function that can produce predictable values is used as a source of randomness in a security-sensitive context.

Computers are deterministic machines, and as such are unable to produce true randomness. Pseudorandom Number Generators (PRNGs) approximate randomness algorithmically, starting with a seed from which subsequent values are calculated.

There are two types of PRNGs: statistical and cryptographic. Statistical PRNGs provide useful statistical properties, but their output is highly predictable and form an easy to reproduce numeric stream that is unsuitable for use in cases where security depends on generated values being unpredictable. Cryptographic PRNGs address this problem by generating output that is more difficult to predict. For a value to be cryptographically secure, it must be impossible or highly improbable for an attacker to distinguish between the generated random value and a truly random value. In general, if a PRNG algorithm is not advertised as being cryptographically secure, it is probably a statistical PRNG and should not be used in security-sensitive contexts, where its use can lead to serious vulnerabilities such as easy-to-guess temporary passwords, predictable cryptographic keys, session hijacking, and DNS spoofing.

Example 1: The following code uses a statistical PRNG to create a random value that is used as a reset password token.

Abstract
Functions that generate random or pseudorandom values, which are passed a seed, should not be called with a constant argument.
Explanation
Functions that generate random or pseudorandom values, which are passed a seed, should not be called with a constant argument. If a pseudorandom number generator (such as CL_ABAP_RANDOM class or its variants) is seeded with a specific constant value, the values returned by GET_NEXT, INT and similar methods which return or assign values are predictable for an attacker that can collect a number of PRNG outputs.

Example 1: In the following excerpt, the values produced by the object random_gen2 are predictable from the object random_gen1.


DATA: random_gen1 TYPE REF TO cl_abap_random,
random_gen2 TYPE REF TO cl_abap_random,
var1 TYPE i,
var2 TYPE i.

random_gen1 = cl_abap_random=>create( seed = '1234' ).

DO 10 TIMES.
CALL METHOD random_gen1->int
RECEIVING
value = var1.

WRITE:/ var1.
ENDDO.

random_gen2 = cl_abap_random=>create( seed = '1234' ).

DO 10 TIMES.
CALL METHOD random_gen2->int
RECEIVING
value = var2.

WRITE:/ var2.
ENDDO.


In this example, pseudorandom number generators: random_gen1 and random_gen2 were identically seeded, so var1 = var2

Abstract
Functions that generate random or pseudorandom values, which are passed a seed, should not be called with a constant argument.
Explanation
Functions that generate random or pseudorandom values, which are passed a seed, should not be called with a constant argument. If a pseudorandom number generator (such as rand()) is seeded with a specific value (using a function like srand(unsigned int)), the values returned by rand() and similar methods which return or assign values are predictable for an attacker that can collect a number of PRNG outputs.

Example 1: The values produced by the pseudorandom number generator are predictable in the first two blocks because both start with the same seed.


srand(2223333);
float randomNum = (rand() % 100);
syslog(LOG_INFO, "Random: %1.2f", randomNum);
randomNum = (rand() % 100);
syslog(LOG_INFO, "Random: %1.2f", randomNum);

srand(2223333);
float randomNum2 = (rand() % 100);
syslog(LOG_INFO, "Random: %1.2f", randomNum2);
randomNum2 = (rand() % 100);
syslog(LOG_INFO, "Random: %1.2f", randomNum2);

srand(1231234);
float randomNum3 = (rand() % 100);
syslog(LOG_INFO, "Random: %1.2f", randomNum3);
randomNum3 = (rand() % 100);
syslog(LOG_INFO, "Random: %1.2f", randomNum3);


In this example the results for randomNum1 and randomNum2 were identically seeded, so each call to rand() after the call which seeds the pseudorandom number generator srand(2223333), will result in the same outputs in the same calling order. For example, the output might resemble the following:


Random: 32.00
Random: 73.00
Random: 32.00
Random: 73.00
Random: 15.00
Random: 75.00


These results are far from random.

Explanation
Functions that generate random or pseudorandom values, which are passed a seed, should not be called with a constant argument. If a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) is seeded with a specific value (using functions such as math.Rand.New(Source)), the values returned by math.Rand.Int() and similar methods which return or assign values are predictable for an attacker that can collect a number of PRNG outputs.

Example 1: The values produced by the pseudorandom number generator are predictable in the first two blocks because both start with the same seed.


randomGen := rand.New(rand.NewSource(12345))
randomInt1 := randomGen.nextInt()

randomGen.Seed(12345)
randomInt2 := randomGen.nextInt()


In this example, the PRNGs were identically seeded, so each call to nextInt() after the call that seeded the pseudorandom number generator (randomGen.Seed(12345)), results in the same outputs and in the same order.

Explanation
Functions that generate random or pseudorandom values, which are passed a seed, should not be called with a constant argument. If a pseudorandom number generator (such as Random) is seeded with a specific value (using a function such as Random.setSeed()), the values returned by Random.nextInt() and similar methods which return or assign values are predictable for an attacker that can collect a number of PRNG outputs.

Example 1: The values produced by the Random object randomGen2 are predictable from the Random object randomGen1.


Random randomGen1 = new Random();
randomGen1.setSeed(12345);
int randomInt1 = randomGen1.nextInt();
byte[] bytes1 = new byte[4];
randomGen1.nextBytes(bytes1);

Random randomGen2 = new Random();
randomGen2.setSeed(12345);
int randomInt2 = randomGen2.nextInt();
byte[] bytes2 = new byte[4];
randomGen2.nextBytes(bytes2);


In this example, pseudorandom number generators: randomGen1 and randomGen2 were identically seeded, so randomInt1 == randomInt2, and corresponding values of arrays bytes1[] and bytes2[] are equal.

Abstract
Functions that generate random or pseudorandom values, which are passed a seed, should not be called with a constant integer argument.
Explanation
Functions that generate pseudorandom values, which are passed a seed, should not be called with a constant integer argument. If a pseudorandom number generator is seeded with a specific value, the values returned are predictable.

Example 1: The values produced by the pseudorandom number generator are predictable in the first two blocks because both start with the same seed.


...
import random
random.seed(123456)
print "Random: %d" % random.randint(1,100)
print "Random: %d" % random.randint(1,100)
print "Random: %d" % random.randint(1,100)

random.seed(123456)
print "Random: %d" % random.randint(1,100)
print "Random: %d" % random.randint(1,100)
print "Random: %d" % random.randint(1,100)
...


In this example the PRNGs were identically seeded, so each call to randint() after the call that seeded the pseudorandom number generator (random.seed(123456)), will result in the same outputs in the same output in the same order. For example, the output might resemble the following:


Random: 81
Random: 80
Random: 3
Random: 81
Random: 80
Random: 3


These results are far from random.

Abstract
Functions that generate random or pseudorandom values, which are passed a seed, should not be called with a constant argument.
Explanation
Functions that generate random or pseudorandom values, which are passed a seed, should not be called with a constant argument. If a pseudorandom number generator (such as Random) is seeded with a specific value (using a function like Random.setSeed()), the values returned by Random.nextInt() and similar methods which return or assign values are predictable for an attacker that can collect a number of PRNG outputs.

Example 1: The values produced by the Random object randomGen2 are predictable from the Random object randomGen1.


val randomGen1 = new Random()
randomGen1.setSeed(12345)
val randomInt1 = randomGen1.nextInt()
val bytes1 = new byte[4]
randomGen1.nextBytes(bytes1)

val randomGen2 = new Random()
randomGen2.setSeed(12345)
val randomInt2 = randomGen2.nextInt()
val bytes2 = new byte[4]
randomGen2.nextBytes(bytes2)


In this example, pseudorandom number generators: randomGen1 and randomGen2 were identically seeded, so randomInt1 == randomInt2, and corresponding values of arrays bytes1[] and bytes2[] are equal.

Abstract
Functions that generate random or pseudorandom values, which are passed a seed, should not be called with a tainted argument.
Explanation
Class CL_ABAP_RANDOM (or its variants) should not be initialized with a tainted argument. Doing so allows an attacker to control the value used to seed the pseudorandom number generator, and therefore predict the sequence of values produced by calls to methods including but not limited to: GET_NEXT, INT, FLOAT, PACKED.

Explanation
Functions that generate random or pseudorandom values (such as rand()), which are passed a seed (such as srand()); should not be called with a tainted argument.

desc.dataflow.cpp.insecure_randomness_user_controlled_seed
Abstract
Functions that generate random or pseudorandom values, which are passed a seed, should not be called with a tainted argument.
Explanation
Functions that generate pseudorandom values, such as ed25519.NewKeyFromSeed(), should not be called with a tainted argument. Doing so allows an attacker to control the value used to seed the pseudorandom number generator, and then can predict the sequence of values produced by calls to the pseudorandom number generator.

Abstract
Functions that generate random or pseudorandom values, which are passed a seed, should not be called with a tainted integer argument.
Explanation
Random.setSeed() should not be called with a tainted integer argument. Doing so allows an attacker to control the value used to seed the pseudorandom number generator, and therefore predict the sequence of values (usually integers) produced by calls to Random.nextInt(), Random.nextShort(), Random.nextLong(), or returned by Random.nextBoolean(), or set in Random.nextBytes(byte[]).

Abstract
Functions that generate random or pseudorandom values, which are passed a seed, should not be called with a tainted integer argument.
Explanation
Random.setSeed() should not be called with a tainted integer argument. Doing so allows an attacker to control the value used to seed the pseudorandom number generator, and therefore predict the sequence of values (usually integers) produced by calls to Random.nextInt(), Random.nextShort(), Random.nextLong(), or returned by Random.nextBoolean(), or set in Random.nextBytes(byte[]).

Abstract
Usage of user-controlled or untrusted data to define HTML sanitizer policy could allow an attacker to circumvent the sanitization requirements and launch cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
Explanation
The umbrella term "input handling" describes functions such as validation, sanitization, filtering, and encoding/decoding of input data. Cross-site scripting, SQL injection, and process control vulnerabilities all stem from incorrect or absent input handling. Sanitization of input, which entails transforming input to an acceptable form, is typically implemented in addition to input validation. HTML sanitization refers to cleansing and scrubbing user input to allow only tags, attributes, and elements that are deemed safe.
Implementing a thorough HTML sanitization policy is difficult; the key to successful implementation is understanding the context in which the data will be used. Each context has its own vulnerabilities, and one size does not fit all. While it is wise to use an HTML sanitizer (for example the OWASP HTML sanitizer) to protect against XSS vulnerabilities in web applications, improper implementation can lead to a false sense of security.
Example 1: The following Java code uses user-controlled input variable elements in building an HTML sanitizer policy:


...
String elements = prop.getProperty("AllowedElements");
...
public static final PolicyFactory POLICY_DEFINITION = new HtmlPolicyBuilder()
.allowElements(elements)
.toFactory();

....


A malicious user can cause the HTML sanitizer policy to accept dangerous elements like <script> by supplying them to elements.

Abstract
The application implements a custom SSL interface.
Explanation
The SSL standard provides guidelines on how to perform SSL validation checks on the client side. These are however, not part of the standard. Thus, the implementation of the validation logic is left to the application developer.

Research has shown that the complexity and open nature of the SSL standard specification has several pitfalls making it difficult to get a flawless custom SSL implementation. A large percentage of the Android applications that use custom SSL implementations are deficient in providing a secure communications channel, leaving the applications vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack.

Abstract
The method fails to make SSL verification checks.
Explanation
Calls to createSocket(), that take in InetAddress as a function parameter, do not perform hostname verification.

Similarily, calls to getInsecure() returns a SSL socket factory with all SSL checks disabled.

Both of these render the application susceptible to a man-in-the-middle attack.

For example the application when trying to connect to https://safesecureserver.banking.com would readily accept a certificate issued to https://hackedserver.banking.com. The application would now potentially leak sensitive user information on a broken SSL connection to the hacked server.

Abstract
The application calls a method that is not suitable for certificate chain validation.
Explanation
The application calls a method that returns the complete list of certificates returned by the server without removing those that are not part of a valid trust path between the server's end-entity certificate and a Certificate Authorithy (CA) certificate trusted by the system.

If an attacker had access to the private key of a compromised CA, he could intercept the SSL/TLS connection and modify the certificates presented by the server. In this scenario, the attacker would be able to create a valid trust path from the server's end-entity certificate to the compromised root CA making the client trust the certificate and append the rest of the original certificates presented by the server.

If the client is using certificate pinning, it will verify that the "pinned" certificate is amongst the ones presented by the server. If the client uses a method that returns all certificates presented by the server without removing those that are not part of a valid trust path, an attacker with a valid compromised private key may be able to present a valid trust path to its compromised CA and the original certificates presented by the web server. In that scenario, an attacker may be able to bypass the certificate pinning verification.

Abstract
An SSL/TLS connection is created using the default pre-loaded system Certificate Authorities (CAs), that might enable attackers to intercept encrypted communications by performing man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attacks using certificates signed with compromised root CAs.
Explanation
The public key infrastructure (PKI) is based on trusted Ceritficate Authorities (CAs), however the increasing number of compromised Certificate Authorities means their root certificates can no longer be trusted and therefore no certificates that are signed by this CA can either. Attackers in possession of these compromised certificates will be able to intercept all the SSL/TLS traffic trusting these CAs.

Certificate Authorities signatures are necessary for general purpose network communication tools such as browsers that connect to arbitrary network endpoints and have no advance knowledge of which CAs sign the SSL/TLS certificates for those endpoints. Mobile applications that connect to a limited number of backend servers can benefit from knowing a shortlist of trusted CAs that these servers may use in signing their certificates and "pin" these certificates/public keys in the applications so that trust is reduced to the certificates the application expects.

Example 1: The following example establishes an SSL/TLS connection using the default pre-loaded system CAs.

URL url = new URL("https://myserver.org");
URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();
InputStream in = urlConnection.getInputStream();


Since the underlying SSLSocketFactory used by the URLConnection has not been changed, it will use the default one that will trust all the CAs present in the Android default keystore.

Abstract
An SSL/TLS connection is created using the default pre-loaded system Certificate Authorities (CAs), that might enable attackers to intercept encrypted communications by performing man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attacks using certificates signed with compromised root CAs.
Explanation
The public key infrastructure (PKI) is based on trusted Ceritficate Authorities (CAs), however the increasing number of compromised Certificate Authorities means their root certificates can no longer be trusted and therefore no certificates that are signed by this CA can either. Attackers in possession of these compromised certificates will be able to intercept all the SSL/TLS traffic trusting these CAs.

Certificate Authorities signatures are necessary for general purpose network communication tools such as browsers that connect to arbitrary network endpoints and have no advance knowledge of which CAs sign the SSL/TLS certificates for those endpoints. Mobile applications that connect to a limited number of backend servers can benefit from knowing a shortlist of trusted CAs that these servers may use in signing their certificates and "pin" these certificates/public keys in the applications so that trust is reduced to the certificates the application expects.

Example 1: The following example establishes an SSL/TLS connection using the default pre-loaded system CAs.

NSString* requestString = @"https://myserver.org";
NSURL* requestUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:requestString];
NSURLRequest* request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:requestUrl
cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalCacheData
timeoutInterval:10.0f];
NSURLConnection* connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];


Since there is no NSURLConnectionDelegate methods defined to handle certificate verification, it will use the system ones that will trust all the CAs present in the iOS default keystore.

Abstract
Server identity verification is disabled when making SSL connections.
Explanation
In some libraries that use SSL connections, the server certificate is not verified by default. This is equivalent to trusting all certificates. In other instances, this is can be explicitly disabled, whether by intention or not.

Example 1: This application always verifies that the certificate chain is correct, thereby trusting all certificates.


...
private bool CertificateCheck(object sender, X509Certificate certificate, X509Chain chain, SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors)
{
...
return true;
}
...
HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create("https://www.myTrustedSite.com");
webRequest.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = CertificateCheck;
WebResponse response = webRequest.GetResponse();
...


When trying to connect to "https://www.myTrustedSite.com", this application would readily accept a certificate issued to "hackedserver.com". The application would now potentially leak sensitive user information on a broken SSL connection to the hacked server.

desc.semantic.cpp.insecure_ssl_server_identity_verification_disabled
Abstract
Server identity verification is disabled when making SSL connections.
Explanation
In some libraries that use SSL connections, the server certificate is not verified by default. This is equivalent to trusting all certificates.

Example 1: This application does not explicitly verify the server certificate.


...
config := &tls.Config{
// Set InsecureSkipVerify to skip the default validation
InsecureSkipVerify: true,
...
}

conn, err := tls.Dial("tcp", "example.com:443", conf)
..


When trying to connect to example.com, this application readily accepts any certificate issued by the server. This application can potentially leak sensitive user information on a broken SSL connection to the hacked server.

Explanation
In some libraries that use SSL connections, the server certificate is not verified by default. This is equivalent to trusting all certificates.

Example 1: This application does not explicitly verify the server certificate.


...
Email email = new SimpleEmail();
email.setHostName("smtp.servermail.com");
email.setSmtpPort(465);
email.setAuthenticator(new DefaultAuthenticator(username, password));
email.setSSLOnConnect(true);
email.setFrom("user@gmail.com");

email.setMsg("This is a test mail ... :-)");
email.addTo("foo@bar.com");

When trying to connect to smtp.mailserver.com:465, this application would readily accept a certificate issued to "hackedserver.com". The application would now potentially leak sensitive user information on a broken SSL connection to the hacked server.

desc.controlflow.java.insecure_ssl_server_identity_verification_disabled
Abstract
Server identity verification is disabled when making SSL connections.
Explanation
In some libraries that use SSL connections, the server certificate is not verified by default. This is equivalent to trusting all certificates.

Example 1: This server incorrectly attempts to verify client connections:


...
var options = {
key : fs.readFileSync('my-server-key.pem'),
cert : fs.readFileSync('server-cert.pem'),
requestCert: true,
...
}
https.createServer(options);
...


When this https.Server object is created, the setting requestCert is specified to true, but rejectUnauthorized is not set, which defaults to false. This means that although the server was created with the intention of verifying clients over SSL, connections will still be accepted even if the certificate is not authorized with the list of supplied CAs.

Example 2: This application tries to connect to a server over SSL:


var tls = require('tls');
...
tls.connect({
host: 'https://www.hackersite.com',
port: '443',
...
rejectUnauthorized: false,
...
});


In this example, as rejectUnauthorized was set to false, it means that unauthorized certificates will be accepted, and a secure connection to the unidentified server will still be created. The application would now potentially leak sensitive user information on a broken SSL connection to the hacked server.

desc.structural.javascript.insecure_ssl_server_identity_verification_disabled
Abstract
Server identity verification is disabled when making SSL connections.
Explanation
In some libraries that involve SSL connections, the server certificate is not verified by default (or can be explicitly configured to do so). This is equivalent to trusting all certificates.

Example 1: This code configures NSURLConnectionDelegate to accept any HTTPS certificate:


implementation NSURLRequest (IgnoreSSL)

+ (BOOL)allowsAnyHTTPSCertificateForHost:(NSString *)host
{
return YES;
}

@end


When trying to connect to an SSL-secured server using the implementation of NSURLRequest from Example 1, no warnings or errors will result if the requested server's certificate is self-signed (and therefore unverified). As a result, the application would now potentially leak sensitive user information over the broken SSL connection.

desc.semantic.objc.insecure_ssl_server_identity_verification_disabled
Abstract
Server identity verification is disabled when making SSL connections.
Explanation
In some libraries that use SSL connections, it is possible to disable server certificate verification. This is equivalent to trusting all certificates.

Example 1: This application does not verify server certificate by default:


...
import ssl
ssl_sock = ssl.wrap_socket(s)
...


When trying to connect to a valid host, this application would readily accept a certificate issued to "hackedserver.com". The application would now potentially leak sensitive user information on a broken SSL connection to the hacked server.

desc.structural.ruby.insecure_ssl_server_identity_verification_disabled
Abstract
Server identity verification is disabled when making SSL connections.
Explanation
In some libraries that involve SSL connections, the server certificate is not verified by default (or can be explicitly configured to do so). This is equivalent to trusting all certificates.

Example 1: This code configures NSURLConnectionDelegate to accept any HTTPS certificate:


class Delegate: NSObject, NSURLConnectionDelegate {

...

func connection(connection: NSURLConnection, canAuthenticateAgainstProtectionSpace protectionSpace: NSURLProtectionSpace?) -> Bool {
return protectionSpace?.authenticationMethod == NSURLAuthenticationMethodServerTrust
}

func connection(connection: NSURLConnection, willSendRequestForAuthenticationChallenge challenge: NSURLAuthenticationChallenge) {
challenge.sender?.useCredential(NSURLCredential(forTrust: challenge.protectionSpace.serverTrust!), forAuthenticationChallenge: challenge)
challenge.sender?.continueWithoutCredentialForAuthenticationChallenge(challenge)
}
}


When trying to connect to an SSL-secured server using the implementation of NSURLConnectionDelegate from Example 1, no warnings or errors will result if the requested server's certificate is self-signed (and therefore unverified). As a result, the application would now potentially leak sensitive user information over the broken SSL connection.

Example 2: In an NSURLSession class, the SSL/TLS chain validation is handled by your app's authentication delegate method, but instead of providing credentials to authenticate the user (or your app) to the server, your app instead checks the credentials that the server provides during the SSL/TLS handshake, then tells the URL loading system whether it should accept or reject those credentials. The following code shows an NSURLSessionDelgate that just passes proposedCredential of the challenge received back as a credential for the session, effectively bypassing the server verification:


class MySessionDelegate : NSObject, NSURLSessionDelegate {
...
func URLSession(session: NSURLSession, didReceiveChallenge challenge: NSURLAuthenticationChallenge, completionHandler: (NSURLSessionAuthChallengeDisposition, NSURLCredential?) -> Void) {
...
completionHandler(NSURLSessionAuthChallengeDisposition.UseCredential, challenge.proposedCredential)
...
}
...
}

Abstract
The program uses Android's backup service to save persistent application data to a remote cloud storage.
Explanation
Android's backup service allows the application to save persistent data to a remote cloud storage in order to provide a restore point for the application data in the future.

Android applications can be configured with this backup service by setting the allowBackup attribute to true (the default value) and defining the backupAgent attribute on the <application> tag.

Android however, does not guarantee the security of your data while using backup, as the cloud storage and transport vary from device to device.

Abstract
The program writes data to the Android device's external storage.
Explanation
Files saved to the external storage are world-readable and can be modified by the user when they enable USB mass storage to transfer files on a computer. Also, files on the external storage card will remain there even after the application that wrote the files is uninstalled. These limitations can compromise sensitive information written out to storage or allow attackers to inject malicious data into the program by modifying an external file it relies on.

Example 1: In the following code, Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() returns a reference to the Android device's external storage.

 private void WriteToFile(String what_to_write) {
try{
File root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
if(root.canWrite()) {
File dir = new File(root + "write_to_the_SDcard");
File datafile = new File(dir, number + ".extension");
FileWriter datawriter = new FileWriter(datafile);
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(datawriter);
out.write(what_to_write);
out.close();
}
}
}

Abstract
The application makes the data accessible to all applications on the Android device.
Explanation
Data stored on the Android internal storage using the MODE_WORLD_READBLE or MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE is accessible to all applications on the device. This not only denies protection against data corruption but in case of sensitive information violates user privacy and security concerns.

Abstract
The identified method sets up the HTTP(S) response cache in an insecure shared storage.
Explanation
The HTTP(S) responses may contain sensitive data such as session cookies and API tokens. The URL loading system will cache all the HTTP(S) responses for performance reasons, storing them unencrypted in an insecure shared storage.

Example 1: The following code installs the HTTP(S) response cache in shared storage space:


protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...

try {
File httpCacheDir = new File(context.getExternalCacheDir(), "http");
long httpCacheSize = 10 * 1024 * 1024; // 10 MiB
HttpResponseCache.install(httpCacheDir, httpCacheSize);
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.i(TAG, "HTTP response cache installation failed:" + e);
}
}

protected void onStop() {
...

HttpResponseCache cache = HttpResponseCache.getInstalled();
if (cache != null) {
cache.flush();
}
}

Abstract
The identified method performs a URL request without configuring the URL loading system to prevent the caching of HTTP(S) responses.
Explanation
The HTTP(S) responses may contain sensitive data such as session cookies and API tokens. The URL loading system will cache all the HTTP(S) responses for performance reasons, storing them unencrypted in the {app ID}/Library/Caches/com.mycompany.myapp/Cache.db* files.

Abstract
The identified method performs a URL request without configuring the URL loading system to prevent the caching of HTTP(S) responses.
Explanation
The HTTP(S) responses may contain sensitive data such as session cookies and API tokens. The URL loading system will cache all the HTTP(S) responses for performance reasons, storing them unencrypted in the {app ID}/Library/Caches/com.mycompany.myapp/Cache.db* files.

Abstract
The identified method establishes a connection to an unencrypted database.
Explanation
Application files can be accessed by other applications on rooted devices or in unencrypted backups. Because a user could decide to jailbreak their device or perform unencrypted backups, it is a best practice to encrypt databases that contain sensitive data.

Example 1: The following code establishes a connection to an unencrypted Realm database:


Realm realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance();

Abstract
The identified method establishes a connection to an unencrypted database.
Explanation
Application files can be accessed by other applications on jailbroken devices or in unencrypted backups. Since application developers cannot control whether the user will decide to jailbreak his device or perform unencrypted backups, it is a best practice to encrypt databases containing sensitive data.

Example 1: The following code establishes a connection to an unencrypted Realm database:

Abstract
The application grants full anonymous access to an AWS S3 bucket or object.
Explanation
Granting full anonymous access to a bucket or object allows attackers to read the content or replace it with malicious content.

Example 1: The following code sets an Access Control Policy that grants full anonymous access to the foo bucket.


GetBucketAclRequest bucketAclReq = GetBucketAclRequest.builder().bucket("foo").build();
GetBucketAclResponse getAclRes = s3.getBucketAcl(bucketAclReq);
List<Grant> grants = getAclRes.grants();

Grantee allusers = Grantee.builder().uri("http://acs.amazonaws.com/groups/global/AllUsers").build();
Permission fc_permission = Permission.fromValue("FullControl");
Grant grant = Grant.builder().grantee(allusers).permission(fc_permission).build();
grants.add(grant);

AccessControlPolicy acl = AccessControlPolicy.builder().grants(grants).build();

Abstract
The application grants anonymous permission to read the Access Control Policy (ACP) of an AWS S3 bucket or object.
Explanation
Granting anonymous permission to read a bucket or object Access Control Policy (ACP) allows attackers to discover which objects can be retrieved or overwritten.

Example 1: The following code sets an Access Control Policy that grants anonymous read ACP access to the foo bucket.


GetBucketAclRequest bucketAclReq = GetBucketAclRequest.builder().bucket("foo").build();
GetBucketAclResponse getAclRes = s3.getBucketAcl(bucketAclReq);
List<Grant> grants = getAclRes.grants();

Grantee allusers = Grantee.builder().uri("http://acs.amazonaws.com/groups/global/AllUsers").build();
Permission fc_permission = Permission.fromValue("READ_ACP");
Grant grant = Grant.builder().grantee(allusers).permission(fc_permission).build();
grants.add(grant);

AccessControlPolicy acl = AccessControlPolicy.builder().grants(grants).build();
