Abstract
Double OGNL evaluation allows attackers to evaluate arbitrary OGNL expressions when controlling the output of the first evaluation.
Explanation
The application uses a forced OGNL expression (%{expr}) in a Struts tag that evaluates the OGNL expression twice. An attacker in control of the result of the first evaluation may be able to control the expression to be evaluated in the second OGNL evaluation and inject arbitrary OGNL expressions.

Example 1: The redirectAction result is known to evaluate its parameters twice. In this case the result of the forced OGNL expression in the actionName parameter may be controlled by an attacker by supplying a redirect request parameter.


...
<action name="index" class="com.acme.MyAction">
<result type="redirectAction">
<param name="actionName">${#parameters['redirect']}</param>
<param name="namespace">/foo</param>
</result>
</action>
...


Struts 2 code will internally evaluate the %{#parameters['redirect']} expression returning a user-controlled string that will be evaluated as an OGNL expression, allowing the attacker to evaluate arbitrary OGNL expressions.

Abstract
Failing to explicitly handle SSL exceptions can cause the application to overlook unexpected states and conditions.
Explanation
Unhandled SSL exception vulnerabilities occur when:

1. An SSL-specific exception is thrown.

2. The exception is not explicitly handled.

The SSL-specific exceptions javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException, javax.net.ssl.SSLKeyException, and javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException all convey important errors related to an SSL connection. If these errors are not explicitly handled, the connection can be left in an unexpected and potential insecure state.

Just about every serious attack on a software system begins with the violation of a programmer's assumptions. After the attack, the programmer's assumptions seem flimsy and poorly founded, but before an attack many programmers would defend their assumptions well past the end of their lunch break.

Two dubious assumptions that are easy to spot in code are "this operation can never fail" and "it doesn't matter if this operation fails". When a programmer fails to catch an exception that an operation may throw, they implicitly state that they are operating under one of these assumptions.

Abstract
Top-level functions or procedures without an AUTHID clause default to AUTHID DEFINER.
Explanation
PL/SQL functions and procedures can be either AUTHID DEFINER or AUTHID CURRENT_USER. Functions and procedures with definer's rights execute under the privileges of the user that defines the code. This can allow updates and access to specific pieces of data without granting access to entire tables or schemas. With invoker's rights, or AUTHID CURRENT_USER, functions and procedures execute under the privileges of the user who invokes them. This does not allow a user to gain access to data it didn't already have access to. If no AUTHID clause is provided, the function or procedure defaults to definer's rights.

Functions and procedures are usually defined by SYS or another highly privileged user, making any exploits of the code potentially more dangerous.

Abstract
Packages without an AUTHID clause default to AUTHID DEFINER.
Explanation
PL/SQL packages can be either AUTHID DEFINER or AUTHID CURRENT_USER. Functions and procedures in a package with definer's rights execute under the privileges of the user that defines the package. This can allow updates and access to specific pieces of data without granting access to entire tables or schemas. In a package with invoker's rights, or AUTHID CURRENT_USER, functions and procedures execute under the privileges of the user who invokes them. This does not allow a user to gain access to data it didn't already have access to. If no AUTHID clause is provided, the package defaults to definer's rights.

Packages are usually defined by SYS or another highly privileged user, making any exploits of the code potentially more dangerous.

Abstract
If a thread fails to unlock a mutex after signaling other threads, the other threads will remain locked waiting on the mutex.
Explanation
After a thread signals other threads waiting on a mutex, it must unlock the mutex by calling pthread_mutex_unlock() before another thread can begin running. If the signaling thread fails to unlock the mutex, the pthread_cond_wait() call in the second thread will not return and the thread will not execute.

Example 1: The following code signals another thread waiting on a mutex by calling pthread_cond_signal(), but fails to unlock the mutex the other thread is waiting on.


...
pthread_mutex_lock(&count_mutex);

// Signal waiting thread
pthread_cond_signal(&count_threshold_cv);
...

Abstract
Ignoring a method's return value can cause the program to overlook unexpected states and conditions.
Explanation
It is not uncommon for programmers to misunderstand Read() and related methods that are part of many System.IO classes. Most errors and unusual events in .NET result in an exception being thrown. (This is one of the advantages that .NET has over languages like C: Exceptions make it easier for programmers to think about what can go wrong.) But the stream and reader classes do not consider it to be unusual or exceptional if only a small amount of data becomes available. These classes simply add the small amount of data to the return buffer, and set the return value to the number of bytes or characters read. There is no guarantee that the amount of data returned is equal to the amount of data requested.

This behavior makes it important for programmers to examine the return value from Read() and other IO methods and ensure that they receive the amount of data they expect.
Example 1: The following code loops through a set of users, reading a private data file for each user. The programmer assumes that the files are always 1 kilobyte in size and therefore ignores the return value from Read(). If an attacker can create a smaller file, the program will recycle the remainder of the data from the previous user and handle it as though it belongs to the attacker.


char[] byteArray = new char[1024];
for (IEnumerator i=users.GetEnumerator(); i.MoveNext() ;i.Current()) {
string userName = (string) i.Current();
string pFileName = PFILE_ROOT + "/" + userName;
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(pFileName);
sr.Read(byteArray,0,1024);//the file is always 1k bytes
sr.Close();
processPFile(userName, byteArray);
}

Abstract
Ignoring a method's return value can cause the program to overlook unexpected states and conditions.
Explanation
Just about every serious attack on a software system begins with the violation of a programmer's assumptions. After the attack, the programmer's assumptions seem flimsy and poorly founded, but before an attack many programmers would defend their assumptions well past the end of their lunch break.

Two dubious assumptions that are easy to spot in code are "this function call can never fail" and "it doesn't matter if this function call fails". When a programmer ignores the return value from a function, they implicitly state that they are operating under one of these assumptions.
Example 1: Consider the following code:


char buf[10], cp_buf[10];
fgets(buf, 10, stdin);
strcpy(cp_buf, buf);


The programmer expects that when fgets() returns, buf will contain a null-terminated string of length 9 or less. But if an I/O error occurs, fgets() will not null-terminate buf. Furthermore, if the end of the file is reached before any characters are read, fgets() returns without writing anything to buf. In both of these situations, fgets() signals that something unusual has happened by returning NULL, but in this code, the warning will not be noticed. The lack of a null-terminator in buf can result in a buffer overflow in the subsequent call to strcpy().

This behavior makes it important for programmers to examine the return value from read() and other IO methods to ensure that they receive the amount of data they expect.

Example 1: The following code loops through a set of users, reading a private data file for each user. The programmer assumes that the files are always exactly 1 kilobyte in size and therefore ignores the return value from read(). If an attacker can create a smaller file, the program will recycle the remainder of the data from the previous user and handle it as though it belongs to the attacker.


FileInputStream fis;
byte[] byteArray = new byte[1024];
for (Iterator i=users.iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
String userName = (String) i.next();
String pFileName = PFILE_ROOT + "/" + userName;
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(pFileName);
fis.read(byteArray); // the file is always 1k bytes
fis.close();
processPFile(userName, byteArray);
}

Abstract
Ignoring a method's return value can cause the program to overlook unexpected states and conditions.
Explanation

It is important for programmers to examine return values to ensure that the expected state is returned from the method call.

Example 1: The following code loops through a set of users, reading a private data file for each user. The programmer assumes that the files are always exactly 1 kilobyte in size and therefore ignores the return value from read(). If an attacker can create a smaller file, the program will recycle the remainder of the data from the previous user and handle it as though it belongs to the attacker.

desc.semantic.kotlin.unchecked_return_value
Abstract
A function does not check the return value of a message call.
Explanation
When invoking another contract, always check the return value of the message call to properly handle whether or not the call was successful. Failure to do so can lead to unintended logic behavior if the call fails or if it throws an exception that is not correctly handled.

Example 1: The following code does not check the returned value of a call.


function callnotchecked(address callee) public {
callee.call();
}

Abstract
Some APIs that gather sensitive information can mishandle it by echoing it back to the user as they type it at the input prompt.
Explanation
Some APIs that gather sensitive information can mishandle it by echoing it back to the user.

Example 1: The following code demonstrates a model in ASP.NET that has a password property, but does not specify the DataType as a password, meaning that by default it will be shown when displayed:


public class User
{
[Required]
public int ID { get; set; }

public string Title { get; set; }

[DataType(DataType.Date)]
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:yyyy-MM-dd}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
public DateTime DateOfEmployment { get; set; }

[DataType(DataType.Currency)]
public decimal Salary { get; set; }

[Required]
public string Username { get; set; }

[Required]
public string Password { get; set; }

...
}


Since the property Password in Example 1 did not specify the attribute [DataType(DataType.Password)], it will not be hidden by default when displayed in the UI.

Abstract
Some APIs that gather sensitive information can mishandle it by echoing it back to the user as they type it at the input prompt.
Explanation
Some APIs that gather sensitive information can mishandle it by echoing it back to the user.

Example 1: The following code demonstrates the TextField widget does not obscure a user's password as they type it at the input prompt:


class SelectionContainerDisabledExampleApp extends StatelessWidget {
const SelectionContainerDisabledExampleApp({super.key});

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Scaffold(
body: Center(
child: Column(
children: <Widget>[
TextField(
decoration: InputDecoration(
hintText: "Please enter your password",
),
),
],
),
),
),
);
}
}


Because TextField widget in Example 1 was not instantiated with obscureText property, set to true, the password is not obscured when the user types it at the "Please enter your password: " prompt.

Abstract
Some APIs that gather sensitive information can mishandle it by echoing it back to the user as they type it at the input prompt.
Explanation
Some APIs that gather sensitive information can mishandle it by echoing it back to the user.

Example 1: The following code demonstrates the instantiation of a password callback object that does not obscure a user's password as they type it at the input prompt:

PasswordCallback pc = new PasswordCallback("Please enter your password: ", true);


Because pc in Example 1 was instantiated with its second parameter, onEcho, set to true, the password is not obscured when the user types it at the "Please enter your password: " prompt.

Abstract
The identified method writes sensitive data to the screen without properly masking it first.
Explanation
The identified function gathers sensitive data without disabling the option to echo it back to user at the input prompt.

Example 1: The following code demonstrates the instantiation of a password field object that does not obscure a user's password as they type it into the text field:


ViewController.h:
...

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITextField *passwordField;

...

ViewController.m:
...

NSString *password = _passwordField.text;

...


Since passwordField in Example 1 did not have its secureTextEntry property set to true, the password is not obscured when the user types it into the text field.

Abstract
A viewed password endangers system security.
Explanation
A password need not be viewable to its owner, and must not be viewable to others. If a password is displayed in plain text, anyone in the vicinity could see and use it to compromise the system. In computer security, shoulder surfing refers to using direct observation techniques, such as looking over someone's shoulder, to get information. Shoulder surfing is particularly effective in crowded, public environments. This threat particularly applies to mobile devices, which are generally intended for use in all environments, both private and public.

Abstract
An otherwise strong cryptographic signature algorithm can be significantly more vulnerable to brute-force attacks if an insufficient key size is used.
Explanation
Current cryptography guidelines suggest that a key length of at least 2048 bits should be used with the RSA and DSA algorithms. However, continued advancements in computing power and factoring techniques [1] mean that future increases in the recommended key size are inevitable.

Example 1: The following code generates a 1024-bit DSA signature key.

...
DSA dsa = new DSACryptoServiceProvider(1024);
...

desc.structural.golang.weak_cryptographic_signature_insufficient_key_size
Abstract
A cryptographic signature algorithm is vulnerable to brute-force attacks if an insufficient key size is used.
Explanation
Current cryptography guidelines suggest that you use a key length of at least 2048 bits with the RSA and DSA algorithms. However, continued advancements in computing power and factoring techniques [1] mean that future increases in the recommended key size are inevitable.

Example 1: The following code generates a 1024-bit DSA signature key.

...
KeyPairGenerator keyGen = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("DSA", "SUN");
SecureRandom random = SecureRandom.getInstance("SHA256PRNG", "SUN");
keyGen.initialize(1024, random);
...

Abstract
A hardcoded salt can compromise system security in a way that is not easy to remedy.
Explanation
It is never a good idea to hardcode a salt. Not only does a hardcoded salt allow all of the project's developers to view the salt, it also makes fixing the problem extremely difficult. After the code is in production, the salt cannot be easily changed. If attackers know the value of the salt, they can compute "rainbow tables" for the application and more easily determine the hashed values.
Example 1: The following code uses a hardcoded salt:

...
PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC(pass, strlen(pass), "2!@$(5#@532@%#$253l5#@$", 2, ITERATION, EVP_sha512(), outputBytes, digest);
...


This code will run successfully, but anyone who has access to it will have access to the salt. After the program ships, there is likely no way to change the salt "2!@$(5#@532@%#$253l5#@$". An employee with access to this information can use it to break into the system.

desc.semantic.cpp.weak_cryptographic_hash_hardcoded_pbe_salt
Abstract
A hardcoded salt can compromise system security in a way that is not easy to remedy.
Explanation
It is never a good idea to hardcode a salt. Not only does a hardcoded salt allow all of the project's developers to view the salt, it also makes fixing the problem extremely difficult. After the code is in production, the salt cannot be easily changed. If attackers know the value of the salt, they can compute "rainbow tables" for the application and more easily determine the hashed values.
Example 1: The following code uses a hardcoded salt:

...
private static final String salt = "2!@$(5#@532@%#$253l5#@$";
...
PBEKeySpec pbeSpec=new PBEKeySpec(password);
SecretKeyFactory keyFact=SecretKeyFactory.getInstance(CIPHER_ALG);
PBEParameterSpec defParams=new PBEParameterSpec(salt,100000);
Cipher cipher=Cipher.getInstance(CIPHER_ALG);
cipher.init(cipherMode,keyFact.generateSecret(pbeSpec),defParams);
...


This code will run successfully, but anyone who has access to it will have access to the salt. After the program ships, there is likely no way to change the salt "2!@$(5#@532@%#$253l5#@$". An employee with access to this information can use it to break into the system.

desc.semantic.java.weak_cryptographic_hash_hardcoded_pbe_salt
Abstract
A hardcoded salt can compromise system security in a way that is not easy to remedy.
Explanation
It is never a good idea to hardcode a salt. Hardcoding a salt makes it available to anyone with access to the source, and undermines the cryptographic strength of the function. If attackers know the value of the salt, they can compute "rainbow tables" for the application and more easily determine the hashed values.
Example 1: The following code uses a hardcoded salt:

...
const salt = "some constant value";
crypto.pbkdf2(
password,
salt,
iterations,
keyLength,
"sha256",
function (err, derivedKey) { ... }
);


This code will run successfully, but anyone who has access to it will have access to the salt. After the program ships, there is likely no way to change the salt. A devious employee with access to this information could use it to compromise the system.

desc.structural.objc.weak_cryptographic_hash_hardcoded_pbe_salt
Abstract
A hardcoded salt can compromise system security in a way that is not easy to remedy.
Explanation
It is never a good idea to hardcode a salt. Not only does a hardcoded salt allow all of the project's developers to view the salt, it also makes fixing the problem extremely difficult. After the code is in production, the salt cannot be easily changed. If attackers know the value of the salt, they can compute "rainbow tables" for the application and more easily determine the hashed values.
Example 1: The following code uses a hardcoded salt:

...
$hash = hash_pbkdf2('sha256', $password, '2!@$(5#@532@%#$253l5#@$', 100000)
...


This code will run successfully, but anyone who has access to it will have access to the salt. After the program ships, there is likely no way to change the salt "2!@$(5#@532@%#$253l5#@$". An employee with access to this information can use it to break into the system.

Abstract
A hardcoded salt can compromise system security in a way that is not easy to remedy.
Explanation
It is never a good idea to hardcode a salt. Not only does a hardcoded salt allow all of the project's developers to view the salt, it also makes fixing the problem extremely difficult. After the code is in production, the salt cannot be easily changed. If attackers know the value of the salt, they can compute "rainbow tables" for the application and more easily determine the hashed values.
Example 1: The following code uses a hardcoded salt:

...
let ITERATION = UInt32(100000)
let salt = "2!@$(5#@532@%#$253l5#@$"
...
CCKeyDerivationPBKDF(CCPBKDFAlgorithm(kCCPBKDF2),
password,
passwordLength,
salt,
salt.lengthOfBytesUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding),
CCPseudoRandomAlgorithm(kCCPRFHmacAlgSHA256),
ITERATION,
derivedKey,
derivedKeyLength)
...


This code will run successfully, but anyone who has access to it will have access to the salt. After the program ships, there is likely no way to change the salt "2!@$(5#@532@%#$253l5#@$". An employee with access to this information can use it to break into the system.

Abstract
Disabling the X-Download-Options header being set to noopen, allows downloaded HTML pages to run in the security context of the site serving them.
Explanation
When sites need to be able to serve downloads to users, the option to open them means that any served files that run in the browser could be opened in the current browser in the same security context as the site.
If an attacker is able to manipulate the downloaded files, they can insert HTML or scripts that run in the browser to act as a cross-site scripting attack, stealing or manipulating information in the current session.

Example 1: The following example explicitly disables protections against served downloads running in the browser:


var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var helmet = require('helmet');

app.use(helmet({
ieNoOpen: false
}));
...

Abstract
The program may allow an unauthorized user to access data from another client of the SAP system.
Explanation
Application data in SAP system is separated based on clients (client separation) and all Open SQL statements automatically access/modify data belonging to the logged on client (client handling). This is provided so that data belonging to different business units or organizations within the enterprise may be logically separated. However, it is possible to bypass the client separation and client handling mechanisms from within an ABAP program by using:

1. Native SQL statements or
2. Open SQL statements with CLIENT SPECIFIED addition or
3. ADBC (ABAP Database Connectivity) API or
4. Other APIs that access client-specific data from other clients

SAP does not check if the user is authorized to access data from the specified client. This presents a security risk where an unauthorized user may view or modify data from a different client.

Example 1: The following code uses Open SQL to fetch employee details.


...
PARAMETERS: p_input TYPE sy-mandt.

SELECT *
FROM employee_records
CLIENT SPECIFIED
INTO TABLE tab_output
WHERE mandt = p_input.
...


In this case, an otherwise unauthorized user running the code will be able to view employee details from client other than the logged on client SY-MANDT.

Abstract
The code asserts to its callers that a certain permission is given, potentially allowing an attacker to bypass security controls.
Explanation
Permissions in the .NET Framework work by going up the stack tree (where the tree grows downward), to check if permissions are set sufficiently to access a resource. When a developer uses Assert() with a specific permission it is a way to say that the current controlflow has the specified permission. This in turn leads to the .NET framework stopping any further permission checks as long as it satisfies the needed permissions, meaning that code that calls the code making the call to Assert() may not have the required permission. The use of Assert() is helpful in some cases, but can lead to vulnerabilities when this allows a malicious user to get control of a resource that they would not have permission to otherwise.

Abstract
Mishandling sensitive information, such as business reports, can compromise corporate privacy and is often illegal.
Explanation
Privacy violations occur when sensitive data is persisted to disk in an unencrypted format.


Example 1: The following ASPX code instantiates a DataVisualization control that generates a graph of sensitive financial information from the XML Data Source SensitiveXMLData:


<asp:Chart ID="Chart1" runat="server" ImageLocation="~/Temporary/Graph"
ImageType="Jpeg" DataSourceID="SensitiveXMLData" ImageStorageMode="UseImageLocation">
<series>
.
.
.
</series>
<chartareas>
<asp:ChartArea Name="ChartArea1">
</asp:ChartArea>
</chartareas>
</asp:Chart>


The code in Example 1 instructs the Chart control to produce a JPEG image of the bar graph and write it to the temporary directory ~/Temporary/Graph. After the control writes the image to disk, the user's browser will make a subsequent request of the file and display it to the user. The image is not written securely to disk. Also, the code assumes that the underlying infrastructure will protect the file from unauthorized access by another user.

Abstract
The controller action may benefit from being restricted to only accept one of the following HTTP verbs: Post, Put, Patch, or Delete.
Explanation
ASP.NET MVC controller actions that modify data by writing, updating, or deleting could benefit from being restricted to accept one of the following HTTP verbs: Post, Put, Patch, or Delete. This increases the difficulty of cross-site request forgery because accidental clicking of links will not cause the action to execute.

The following controller action by default accepts any verb and may be susceptible to cross-site request forgery:


public ActionResult UpdateWidget(Model model)
{
// ... controller logic
}

Abstract
An attacker will be able to create a file on the system with arbitrary contents.
Explanation
An attacker will be able to create a file in the server's file system with arbitrary contents. The file created could then be used later by the attacker in order to perform additional attacks, dependent on the ability to control the contents injected into the file.

If the attacker is capable of controlling the contents of the file and the file is served by a web server, then he will be able to inject a malicious web shell, which can let him execute arbitrary commands on the server remotely.

If the attacker may create the file with the contents from a different file in the file system, he will be able to read arbitrary files on the file system that can be accessed using the permissions of the vulnerable application.

Abstract
Deserializing user-controlled XML documents at run-time can allow attackers to execute malicious arbitrary code on the server.
Explanation
XStream library provides the developer with an easy way to transmit objects, serializing them to XML documents. However, XStream deserialization might enable an attacker to run arbitrary Java code on the server.

Example 1: The following Java code shows an instance of XStream processing untrusted input.


XStream xstream = new XStream();
String body = IOUtils.toString(request.getInputStream(), "UTF-8");
Contact expl = (Contact) xstream.fromXML(body);

desc.dataflow.java.dynamic_code_evaluation_unsafe_xstream_deserialization
Abstract
Deserializing user-controlled YAML streams might enable attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server, abuse application logic, and/or lead to denial of service.
Explanation
YAML serialization libraries, which convert object graphs into YAML formatted data may include the necessary metadata to reconstruct the objects back from the YAML stream. If attackers can specify the classes of the objects to be reconstructed and are able to force the application to run arbitrary setters with user-controlled data, they may be able to execute arbitrary code during the deserialization of the YAML stream.

Example: The following example deserializes an untrusted YAML string using the YamlDotNet parser.


var yamlString = getYAMLFromUser();

// Setup the input
var input = new StringReader(yamlString);

// Load the stream
var yaml = new YamlStream();
yaml.Load(input);

desc.dataflow.java.dynamic_code_evaluation_unsafe_yaml_deserialization
Abstract
Deserializing user-controlled YAML streams might enable attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server, abuse application logic, and/or lead to denial of service.
Explanation
YAML serialization libraries, which convert object graphs into YAML formatted data may include the necessary metadata to reconstruct the objects back from the YAML stream. If attackers can specify the classes of the objects to be reconstructed and are able to force the application to run arbitrary setters with user-controlled data, they may be able to execute arbitrary code during the deserialization of the YAML stream.

Example 1: The following example deserializes an untrusted YAML string using an insecure YAML parser.


var yaml = require('js-yaml');

var untrusted_yaml = getYAMLFromUser();
yaml.load(untrusted_yaml)

Abstract
Some functions can return a pointer to memory outside the bounds of the buffer to be searched. Subsequent operations on the pointer could have unintended consequences.
Explanation
Functions that search for characters within a buffer can return a pointer outside the bounds of the buffer provided under either of the following circumstances:

- A user controls the contents of the buffer to be searched.

- A user controls the value for which to search.

Example 1: The following short program uses an untrusted command-line argument as the search buffer in a call to rawmemchr().


int main(int argc, char** argv) {
char* ret = rawmemchr(argv[0], 'x');
printf("%s\n", ret);
}


The program is meant to print a substring of argv[0], but it might end up printing some portion of memory located above argv[0].

This issue is similar to a string termination error, where the programmer relies on a character array to contain a null-terminator.

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();
