Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An information leak occurs when system data or debug information leaves the program through an output stream or logging function.



This parameter tells Apache Axis 2 to send fault messages to clients. Fault messages contain stack traces and in some cases the error message tells the attacker precisely what sort of an attack the system is vulnerable to. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system.

desc.config.java.system_information_leak_apache_axis2
Abstract
Insufficient access control can reveal system information and enable an attacker to better map the application attack surface.
Explanation
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) is a well-known software revision control system. CVS stores a number of metadata files in a directory named 'CVS'. One of the files in this directory is the 'Entries' file. This text file lists the files and directories in the working directory.
Programmers sometimes include the 'CVS' directory in the web document root. Failure to properly restrict access to this directory and the 'Entries' file can disclose absolute paths to application files. An attacker can use this information to steal sensitive information or gain unauthorized access to privileged functionality.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An external information leak occurs when system data or debugging information leaves the program to a remote machine via a socket or network connection.
Example 1: The following code prints the SAPFTP version information on the screen:


...
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_VERSION'
...
IMPORTING
EXEPATH = p
VERSION = v
WORKING_DIR = dir
RFCPATH = rfcp
RFCVERSION = rfcv
TABLES
FTP_TRACE = FTP_TRACE.

WRITE: 'exepath: ', p, 'version: ', v, 'working_dir: ', dir, 'rfcpath: ', rfcp, 'rfcversion: ', rfcv.
...


Depending upon the configuration of the selection screen, this information can be dumped to a screen or sent directly to a printer. In some cases the version information tells the attacker precisely what sort of an attack the system will be vulnerable to. In the same manner, error messages can tell the attacker what attack the system is vulnerable to. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information could enable an adversary to use system information to plan an attack.
Explanation
An external information leak occurs when system data or debugging information leaves the program to a remote machine via a socket or network connection.

Example 1: The following code prints a stack trace to either a "Debug" console or a log file:


try {
...
}
catch(e:Error) {
trace(e.getStackTrace());
}


Depending upon the system configuration, this information can be dumped to a console, written to a log file, or exposed to a remote user. For example, with scripting mechanisms it is trivial to redirect output information from "Standard error" or "Standard output" into a file or another program. Alternatively, the system that the program runs on could have a remote logging mechanism such as a "syslog" server that sends the logs to a remote device. During development, you have no way of knowing where this information might end up being displayed.

In some cases the error message tells the attacker precisely what sort of an attack the system is vulnerable to. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system. In Example 1, the search path could imply information about the type of operating system, the applications installed on the system, and the amount of care that the administrators have put into configuring the program.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information enables an adversary to learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An external information leak occurs when system data or debug information leaves the program to a remote machine via a socket or network connection. External leaks can help an attacker by revealing specific data about operating systems, full pathnames, the existence of usernames, or locations of configuration files. External leaks are more serious than internal information leaks, which are more difficult for an attacker to access.

Example 1: The following code leaks Exception information in the <apex:messages/> element of a Visualforce page:


try {
...
} catch (Exception e) {
ApexPages.Message msg = new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.FATAL, e.getMessage());
ApexPages.addMessage(msg);
}


This information can be exposed to a remote user. In some cases, the error message provides the attacker with the precise type of attack to which the system is vulnerable. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An external information leak occurs when system data or debugging information leaves the program to a remote machine via a socket or network connection.
Example 1: The following code leaks system information via a socket:


int sockfd;
int flags;
char hostname[1024];
hostname[1023] = '\0';
gethostname(hostname, 1023);
...
sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
flags = 0;
send(sockfd, hostname, strlen(hostname), flags);


This information can be exposed to a remote user. In some cases the error message tells the attacker precisely what sort of an attack the system will be vulnerable to. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system. In Example 1, the search path could imply information about the type of operating system, the applications installed on the system, and the amount of care that the administrators have put into configuring the program.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An external information leak occurs when system data or debugging information leaves the program to a remote machine via a socket or network connection.
Example 1: The following code displays the error code SQLCODE and the error message SQlERRMC associated with the SQL command that caused the error to the terminal.


...
EXEC SQL
WHENEVER SQLERROR
PERFORM DEBUG-ERR
SQL-EXEC.
...
DEBUG-ERR.
DISPLAY "Error code is: " SQLCODE.
DISPLAY "Error message is: " SQLERRMC.
...


Depending on the system configuration, this information can be dumped to a console, written to a log file, or exposed to a remote user. In some cases the error message tells the attacker precisely what sort of an attack the system is vulnerable to. In Example 1, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system.

desc.dataflow.cobol.system_information_leak_external
Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An external information leak occurs when system data or debugging information leaves the program to a remote machine via a socket or network connection.
Example 1: The following code catches an exception and prints its message to the page.


<cfcatch type="Any">
<cfset exception=getException(myObj)>
<cfset message=exception.toString()>
<cfoutput>
Exception message: #message#
</cfoutput>
</cfcatch>


Depending on the system configuration, this information can be written to a log file or exposed to a remote user. In some cases the error message tells the attacker precisely what sort of an attack the system is vulnerable to. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An external information leak occurs when system data or debugging information leaves the program to a remote machine via a socket or network connection.

Example 1: The following example leaks system information via an HTTP response.


func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
host, err := os.Hostname()
...
fmt.Fprintf(w, "%s is busy, please try again later.", host)
}


In some cases, the error message tells the attacker to which precise type of attack the system is vulnerable. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system. In Example 1, the leaked information could imply information about the type of operating system, the applications installed on the system, and the amount of care that the administrators have put into configuring the program.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An external information leak occurs when system data or debug information leaves the program to a remote machine via a socket or network connection. External leaks can help an attacker by revealing specific data about operating systems, full pathnames, the existence of usernames, or locations of configuration files, and are more serious than internal information leaks, which are more difficult for an attacker to access.

Example 1: The following code leaks Exception information in the HTTP response:


protected void doPost (HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws IOException {
...
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
try {
...
} catch (Exception e) {
out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}


This information can be exposed to a remote user. In some cases, the error message provides the attacker with the precise type of attack to which the system is vulnerable. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system. In Example 1, the leaked information could imply information about the type of operating system, the applications installed on the system, and the amount of care that the administrators have put into configuring the program.

Information leaks are also a concern in a mobile computing environment. With mobile platforms, applications are downloaded from various sources and are run alongside each other on the same device. The likelihood of running a piece of malware next to a banking application is high, which is why application authors need to be careful about what information they include in messages addressed to other applications running on the device.

Example 2: The following code broadcasts the stack trace of a caught exception to all the registered Android receivers.

...
try {
...
} catch (Exception e) {
String exception = Log.getStackTraceString(e);
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction("SEND_EXCEPTION");
i.putExtra("exception", exception);
view.getContext().sendBroadcast(i);
}
...


This is another scenario specific to the mobile environment. Most mobile devices now implement a Near-Field Communication (NFC) protocol for quickly sharing information between devices using radio communication. It works by bringing devices in close proximity or having the devices touch each other. Even though the communication range of NFC is limited to just a few centimeters, eavesdropping, data modification and various other types of attacks are possible, because NFC alone does not ensure secure communication.

Example 3: The Android platform provides support for NFC. The following code creates a message that gets pushed to the other device within range.

...
public static final String TAG = "NfcActivity";
private static final String DATA_SPLITTER = "__:DATA:__";
private static final String MIME_TYPE = "application/my.applications.mimetype";
...
TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager)Context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String VERSION = tm.getDeviceSoftwareVersion();
...
NfcAdapter nfcAdapter = NfcAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(this);
if (nfcAdapter == null)
return;

String text = TAG + DATA_SPLITTER + VERSION;
NdefRecord record = new NdefRecord(NdefRecord.TNF_MIME_MEDIA,
MIME_TYPE.getBytes(), new byte[0], text.getBytes());
NdefRecord[] records = { record };
NdefMessage msg = new NdefMessage(records);
nfcAdapter.setNdefPushMessage(msg, this);
...


An NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF) message contains typed data, a URI, or a custom application payload. If the message contains information about the application, such as its name, MIME type, or device software version, this information could be leaked to an eavesdropper.

desc.dataflow.java.system_information_leak_external
Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information could enable an adversary to use system information to plan an attack.
Explanation
An external information leak occurs when system data or debug information leaves the program to a remote machine via a socket or network connection. External leaks can help an attacker by revealing specific data about operating systems, full pathnames, the existence of usernames, or locations of configuration files, and are more serious than internal information leaks, which are more difficult for an attacker to access.

Example 1: The following code leaks Exception information into a text area within a web page:


...
dirReader.readEntries(function(results){
...
}, function(error){
$("#myTextArea").val('There was a problem: ' + error);
});
...


This information can be exposed to a remote user. In some cases, the error message provides the attacker with the precise type of attack to which the system is vulnerable. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system. In Example 1, the leaked information could imply information about the type of operating system, the applications installed on the system, and the amount of care that the administrators have put into configuring the program.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information could enable an adversary to use system information to plan an attack.
Explanation
An external information leak occurs when system data or debug information leaves the program to a remote machine via a socket or network connection. External leaks can help an attacker by revealing specific data about operating systems, full pathnames, the existence of usernames, or locations of configuration files, and are more serious than internal information leaks, which are more difficult for an attacker to access.

Example 1: The following code leaks Exception information in the HTTP response:


protected fun doPost(req: HttpServletRequest, res: HttpServletResponse) {
...
val out: PrintWriter = res.getWriter()
try {
...
} catch (e: Exception) {
out.println(e.message)
}
}


This information can be exposed to a remote user. In some cases, the error message provides the attacker with the precise type of attack to which the system is vulnerable. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system. In Example 1, the leaked information could imply information about the type of operating system, the applications installed on the system, and the amount of care that the administrators have put into configuring the program.

Information leaks are also a concern in a mobile computing environment. With mobile platforms, applications are downloaded from various sources and are run alongside each other on the same device. The likelihood of running a piece of malware next to a banking application is high, which is why developers must be careful about the information included in messages addressed to other applications running on the device.

Example 2: The following code broadcasts the stack trace of a caught exception to all the registered Android receivers.

...
try {
...
} catch (e: Exception) {
val exception = Log.getStackTraceString(e)
val intent = Intent()
intent.action = "SEND_EXCEPTION"
intent.putExtra("exception", exception)
view.context.sendBroadcast(intent)
}
...


This is another scenario specific to the mobile environment. Most mobile devices now implement a Near-Field Communication (NFC) protocol for quickly sharing information between devices using radio communication. It works by bringing devices in close proximity or having the devices touch each other. Even though the communication range of NFC is limited to just a few centimeters, eavesdropping, data modification and various other types of attacks are possible, because NFC alone does not ensure secure communication.

Example 3: The Android platform provides support for NFC. The following code creates a message that gets pushed to the other device within range.

...
companion object {
const val TAG = "NfcActivity"
private const val DATA_SPLITTER = "__:DATA:__"
private const val MIME_TYPE = "application/my.applications.mimetype"
}
...
val tm = Context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE) as TelephonyManager
val VERSION = tm.getDeviceSoftwareVersion();
...
val nfcAdapter = NfcAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(this)

val text: String = "$TAG$DATA_SPLITTER$VERSION"
val record = NdefRecord(NdefRecord.TNF_MIME_MEDIA, MIME_TYPE.getBytes(), ByteArray(0), text.toByteArray())
val records = arrayOf(record)
val msg = NdefMessage(records)
nfcAdapter.setNdefPushMessage(msg, this)
...


An NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF) message contains typed data, a URI, or a custom application payload. If the message contains information about the application, such as its name, MIME type, or device software version, this information could be leaked to an eavesdropper.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An external information leak occurs when system data or debugging information leaves the program to a remote machine via a socket or network connection.

Example 1: The following code leaks system information via an HTTP request:


NSString *deviceName = [[UIDevice currentDevice] name];
NSString *baseUrl = @"http://myserver.com/?dev=";
NSString *urlString = [baseUrl stringByAppendingString:deviceName];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
NSURLRequest* request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy timeoutInterval:60.0];
NSError *err = nil;
NSURLResponse* response = nil;
NSData *data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&err];


This information can be exposed to a remote user. In some cases the error message tells the attacker precisely what sort of an attack the system will be vulnerable to. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system.

[51] Standards Mapping - Web Application Security Consortium 24 + 2 Information Leakage
desc.dataflow.objc.system_information_leak_external
Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An external information leak occurs when system data or debugging information leaves the program to a remote machine via a socket or network connection.

Example 1: The following code writes an exception to the HTTP response:


<?php
...
echo "Server error! Printing the backtrace";
debug_print_backtrace();
...
?>


Depending upon the system configuration, this information can be dumped to a console, written to a log file, or exposed to a remote user. For example, with scripting mechanisms it is trivial to redirect output information from "Standard error" or "Standard output" into a file or another program. Alternatively, the system that the program runs on could have a remote logging mechanism such as a "syslog" server that sends the logs to a remote device. During development, you have no way of knowing where this information might end up being displayed.

In some cases, the error message provides the attacker with the precise type of attack to which the system is vulnerable. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system. In Example 1, the leaked information could imply information about the type of operating system, the applications installed on the system, and the amount of care that the administrators have put into configuring the program.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An external information leak occurs when system data or debugging information leaves the program to a remote machine via a socket or network connection.
Example 1: The following code prints the environment variables PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME to the page.


...
HTP.htmlOpen;
HTP.headOpen;
HTP.title ('Environment Information');
HTP.headClose;
HTP.bodyOpen;
HTP.br;
HTP.print('Path Information: ' ||
OWA_UTIL.get_cgi_env('PATH_INFO') || '
');
HTP.print('Script Name: ' ||
OWA_UTIL.get_cgi_env('SCRIPT_NAME') || '
');
HTP.br;
HTP.bodyClose;
HTP.htmlClose;
...
}


Depending on the system configuration, this information can be dumped to a console, written to a log file, or exposed to a remote user. In some cases the error message tells the attacker precisely what sort of an attack the system is vulnerable to. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system. In Example 1, the search path could imply information about the type of operating system, the applications installed on the system, and the amount of care that the administrators have put into configuring the program.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An external information leak occurs when system data or debugging information leaves the program to a remote machine via a socket or network connection.

Example 1: The following code leaks system information via an HTTP response:


response = Rack::Response.new
...
stacktrace = caller # Kernel#caller returns an array of the execution stack
...
response.finish do |res|
res.write "There was a problem: #{stacktrace}"
end


This information can be exposed to a remote user. In some cases the error message tells the attacker precisely what sort of an attack the system will be vulnerable to. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system. In Example 1, the search path could imply information about the type of operating system, the applications installed on the system, and the amount of care that the administrators have put into configuring the program.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information could enable an adversary to use system information to plan an attack.
Explanation
An external information leak occurs when system data or debug information leaves the program to a remote machine via a socket or network connection. External leaks can help an attacker by revealing specific data about operating systems, full pathnames, the existence of usernames, or locations of configuration files, and are more serious than internal information leaks, which are more difficult for an attacker to access.

Example 1: The following code leaks System details in the HTTP response:


def doSomething() = Action { request =>
...
Ok(Html(Properties.osName)) as HTML
}


This information can be exposed to a remote user. In some cases, the error message provides the attacker with the precise type of attack to which the system is vulnerable. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system. In Example 1, the leaked information could imply information about the type of operating system, the applications installed on the system, and the amount of care that the administrators have put into configuring the program.

An external information leak occurs when system data or debugging information leaves the program to a remote machine via a socket or network connection.

Example 1: The following code leaks system information via an HTTP request:

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information could enable an adversary to use system information to plan an attack.
Explanation
An external information leak occurs when system data or debugging information leaves the program to a remote machine via a socket or network connection.

Example 1: The following code writes an exception to the Response output stream:


...
If Err.number <>0 then
Response.Write "An Error Has Occurred on this page!<BR>"
Response.Write "The Error Number is: " & Err.number & "<BR>"
Response.Write "The Description given is: " & Err.Description & "<BR>"
End If
...


Depending upon the system configuration, this information can be dumped to a console, written to a log file, or exposed to a remote user. For example, with scripting mechanisms it is trivial to redirect output information from "Standard error" or "Standard output" into a file or another program. Alternatively, the system that the program runs on could have a remote logging mechanism such as a "syslog" server that sends the logs to a remote device. During development, you have no way of knowing where this information might end up being displayed.

In some cases, the error message provides the attacker with the precise type of attack to which the system is vulnerable. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system. In Example 1, the leaked information could imply information about the type of operating system, the applications installed on the system, and the amount of care that the administrators have put into configuring the program.

Abstract
Any information revealed in an HTML comment might help an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
HTML comments provide an attacker with an easy source of information about a dynamically generated web page.

Example 1:

<!-- TBD: this needs a security audit -->
<form method="POST" action="recalcOrbit">
...


Even comments that seem innocuous may be useful to someone trying to understand the way the system is built.

Abstract
If a Servlet fails to catch all exceptions, it might reveal debugging information that will help an adversary form a plan of attack.
Explanation
When a Servlet throws an exception, the default error response the Servlet container sends back to the user typically includes debugging information. This information is of great value to an attacker. For example, a stack trace might show the attacker a malformed SQL query string, the type of database being used, and the version of the application container. This information enables the attacker to target known vulnerabilities in these components.

Example 1: In the following method a DNS lookup failure will cause the Servlet to throw an exception.


protected void doPost (HttpServletRequest req,
HttpServletResponse res)
throws IOException {
String ip = req.getRemoteAddr();
InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getByName(ip);
...
out.println("hello " + addr.getHostName());
}
Example 2: The following method will throw a NullPointerException if the parameter "name" is not part of the request.


protected void doPost (HttpServletRequest req,
HttpServletResponse res)
throws IOException {
String name = getParameter("name");
...
out.println("hello " + name.trim());
}

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An internal information leak occurs when system data or debug information is sent to a local file, console, or screen via printing or logging.
Example 1: The following code prints the SAPFTP version information on the screen:


...
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_VERSION'
...
IMPORTING
EXEPATH = p
VERSION = v
WORKING_DIR = dir
RFCPATH = rfcp
RFCVERSION = rfcv
TABLES
FTP_TRACE = FTP_TRACE.

WRITE: 'exepath: ', p, 'version: ', v, 'working_dir: ', dir, 'rfcpath: ', rfcp, 'rfcversion: ', rfcv.
...


Depending upon the configuration of the selection screen, this information can be dumped to a screen or sent directly to a printer. In some cases the version information tells the attacker precisely what sort of an attack the system will be vulnerable to. In the same manner, error messages can tell the attacker what attack the system is vulnerable to. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information could enable an adversary to use system information to plan an attack.
Explanation
An internal information leak occurs when system data or debug information is sent to a local file, console, or screen via printing or logging.

Example 1: The following code prints a stack trace to either a "Debug" console or a log file:


try {
...
}
catch(e:Error) {
trace(e.getStackTrace());
}


Depending upon the system configuration, this information can be dumped to a console, written to a log file, or exposed to a user. In some cases the error message tells the attacker precisely what sort of an attack the system is vulnerable to. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system. In Example 1, the search path could imply information about the type of operating system, the applications installed on the system, and the amount of care that the administrators have put into configuring the program.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information could enable an adversary to use system information to plan an attack.
Explanation
An internal information leak occurs when system data or debug information is sent to a local file, console, or screen via printing or logging.

Example 1: The following code writes an exception message to the debug log:


try {
...
} catch (Exception e) {
System.Debug(LoggingLevel.ERROR, e.getMessage());
}


The error message could enable an adversary to plan an attack. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An internal information leak occurs when system data or debug information is sent to a local file, console, or screen via printing or logging.
Example 1: The following code constructs a database connection string, uses it to create a new connection to the database, and writes it to the console.


string cs="database=northwind;server=mySQLServer...";
SqlConnection conn=new SqlConnection(cs);
...
Console.Writeline(cs);


Depending on the system configuration, this information can be dumped to a console, written to a log file, or exposed to a user. In some cases, the error message provides the attacker with the precise type of attack to which the system is vulnerable. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system. In Example 1, the leaked information could imply information about the type of operating system, the applications installed on the system, and the amount of care that the administrators have put into configuring the program.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An internal information leak occurs when system data or debugging information is sent via logging or printing to a local file, console, or screen.
Example 1: The following code prints the path environment variable to the standard error stream:


char* path = getenv("PATH");
...
fprintf(stderr, "cannot find exe on path %s\n", path);


Depending upon the system configuration, this information can be dumped to a console, written to a log file, or exposed to a user. In some cases the error message tells the attacker precisely what sort of an attack the system will be vulnerable to. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system. In Example 1, the search path could imply information about the type of operating system, the applications installed on the system, and the amount of care that the administrators have put into configuring the program.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An internal information leak occurs when system data or debugging information is sent via logging or printing to a local file, console, or screen.
Example 1: The following code requests a transaction dump of all the task-related storage areas, the terminal control table, and a specified data area:


...
EXEC CICS DUMP TRANSACTION
DUMPCODE('name')
FROM (data-area)
LENGTH (data-value)
END-EXEC.
...


Depending on the system configuration, this information can be dumped to a console, written to a log file, or exposed to a user. In some cases the error message tells the attacker precisely what sort of an attack the system is vulnerable to. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An internal information leak occurs when system data or debugging information is sent to a local file, console, or screen via printing or logging.

Example 1: The following code writes to a file on the local file system:


<cfscript>
try {
obj = CreateObject("person");
}
catch(any excpt) {
f = FileOpen("c:\log.txt", "write");
FileWriteLine(f, "#excpt.Message#");
FileClose(f);
}
</cfscript>


This information is written to a log file. In some cases the message tells the attacker precisely what sort of an attack the system is vulnerable to. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An internal information leak occurs when system data or debug information is sent to a local file, console, or screen via printing or logging.

Example 1: The following code writes an exception to a local file:


final file = await File('example.txt').create();
final raf = await file.open(mode: FileMode.write);
final data = String.fromEnvironment("PASSWORD");
raf.writeString(data);


Depending on the system configuration, this information can be dumped to a console, written to a log file, or exposed to a user. In some cases, the error message provides the attacker with the precise type of attack to which the system is vulnerable. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system. In Example 1, the leaked information could imply information about the type of operating system, the applications installed on the system, and the amount of care that the administrators have put into configuring the program.

Information leaks are also a concern in a mobile computing environment.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information could enable an adversary to use system information to plan an attack.
Explanation
An internal information leak occurs when system data or debugging information is sent via logging or printing to a local file, console, or screen.
Example 1: The following code prints the path environment variable to the standard error stream:


path := os.Getenv("PATH")
...
log.Printf("Cannot find exe on path %s\n", path)


Depending upon the system configuration, this information can be dumped to a console, written to a log file, or exposed to a user. In some cases, the error message tells the attacker to which precise type of attack the system is vulnerable. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system. In Example 1, the search path could imply information about the type of operating system, the applications installed on the system, and the amount of care that the administrators have put into configuring the program.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An external information leak occurs when system data or debug information leaves the program to a remote machine via a socket or network connection. External leaks can help an attacker by revealing specific data about operating systems, full pathnames, the existence of usernames, or locations of configuration files, and are more serious than internal information leaks, which are more difficult for an attacker to access.

Example 1: The following code leaks Exception information in the HTTP response:


protected void doPost (HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws IOException {
...
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
try {
...
} catch (Exception e) {
out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}


This information can be exposed to a remote user. In some cases, the error message provides the attacker with the precise type of attack to which the system is vulnerable. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system. In Example 1, the leaked information could imply information about the type of operating system, the applications installed on the system, and the amount of care that the administrators have put into configuring the program.

Information leaks are also a concern in a mobile computing environment. With mobile platforms, applications are downloaded from various sources and are run alongside each other on the same device. The likelihood of running a piece of malware next to a banking application is high, which is why application authors need to be careful about what information they include in messages addressed to other applications running on the device.

Example 2: The following code broadcasts the stack trace of a caught exception to all the registered Android receivers.

...
try {
...
} catch (Exception e) {
String exception = Log.getStackTraceString(e);
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction("SEND_EXCEPTION");
i.putExtra("exception", exception);
view.getContext().sendBroadcast(i);
}
...


This is another scenario specific to the mobile environment. Most mobile devices now implement a Near-Field Communication (NFC) protocol for quickly sharing information between devices using radio communication. It works by bringing devices in close proximity or having the devices touch each other. Even though the communication range of NFC is limited to just a few centimeters, eavesdropping, data modification and various other types of attacks are possible, because NFC alone does not ensure secure communication.

Example 3: The Android platform provides support for NFC. The following code creates a message that gets pushed to the other device within range.

...
public static final String TAG = "NfcActivity";
private static final String DATA_SPLITTER = "__:DATA:__";
private static final String MIME_TYPE = "application/my.applications.mimetype";
...
TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager)Context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String VERSION = tm.getDeviceSoftwareVersion();
...
NfcAdapter nfcAdapter = NfcAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(this);
if (nfcAdapter == null)
return;

String text = TAG + DATA_SPLITTER + VERSION;
NdefRecord record = new NdefRecord(NdefRecord.TNF_MIME_MEDIA,
MIME_TYPE.getBytes(), new byte[0], text.getBytes());
NdefRecord[] records = { record };
NdefMessage msg = new NdefMessage(records);
nfcAdapter.setNdefPushMessage(msg, this);
...


An NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF) message contains typed data, a URI, or a custom application payload. If the message contains information about the application, such as its name, MIME type, or device software version, this information could be leaked to an eavesdropper.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information could enable an adversary to use system information to plan an attack.
Explanation
An internal information leak occurs when system data or debug information is sent to a local file, console, or screen via printing or logging.

Example 1: The following code writes an exception to the standard error stream:


var http = require('http');
...

http.request(options, function(res){
...
}).on('error', function(e){
console.log('There was a problem with the request: ' + e);
});
...


Depending upon the system configuration, this information can be dumped to a console, written to a log file, or exposed to a user. In some cases, the error message provides the attacker with the precise type of attack to which the system is vulnerable. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An internal information leak occurs when system data or debugging information is sent via logging or printing to a local file, console, or screen.
Example 1: The following code leaks system information to the system log:


...
NSString* deviceID = [[UIDevice currentDevice] name];

NSLog(@"DeviceID: %@", deviceID);
...


In the mobile world, other areas of concern for maintaining system information arise when a device has been lost or stolen. Once in possession of an iOS device, an attacker may access a great deal of data by connecting the device by USB. Files such as iOS Property Lists (plists) and SQLite databases are easily accessed and can disclose personal information. As a general rule, privacy related information should not be stored unprotected on the file system.

Example 2: The following code adds a deviceID entry to the list of user defaults, and stores them immediately to a plist file.


...
NSString* deviceID = [[UIDevice currentDevice] name];

[defaults setObject:deviceID forKey:@"deviceID"];
[defaults synchronize];
...


The code in Example 2 stores system information from the mobile device in an unprotected plist file stored on the device. Although many developers trust plist files as a safe storage location for any and all data, it should not be trusted implicitly particularly when system information and privacy are a concern, since plist files could be read by anyone in possession of the device.

Depending upon the system configuration, this information can be dumped to a console, written to a log file, or exposed to a user. In some cases the error message tells the attacker precisely what sort of an attack the system will be vulnerable to. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An internal information leak occurs when system data or debug information is sent to a local file, console, or screen via printing or logging.

Example 1: The following code writes an exception to the standard error stream:


<?php
...
echo "Server error! Printing the backtrace";
debug_print_backtrace();
...
?>


Depending upon the system configuration, this information can be dumped to a console, written to a log file, or exposed to a user. In some cases, the error message provides the attacker with the precise type of attack to which the system is vulnerable. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system. In Example 1, the leaked information could imply information about the type of operating system, the applications installed on the system, and the amount of care that the administrators have put into configuring the program.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information could enable an adversary to use system information to plan an attack.
Explanation
An internal information leak occurs when system data or debug information is sent to a local file, console, or screen via printing or logging.

Example 1: The following code writes an exception to the standard error stream:


...
begin
log = Logger.new(STDERR)
...
rescue Exception
log.info("Exception: " + $!)
...
end


Depending upon the system configuration, this information can be dumped to a console, written to a log file, or exposed to a user. In some cases, the error message provides the attacker with the precise type of attack to which the system is vulnerable. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system. In Example 1, the leaked information could imply information about the type of operating system, the applications installed on the system, and the amount of care that the administrators have put into configuring the program. Of course, another problem with Example 1 is rescuing the root Exception instead of a specific type or error/exception, meaning it will catch all exceptions, potentially causing other unconsidered side effects.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information could enable an adversary to use system information to plan an attack.
Explanation
An internal information leak occurs when system data or debug information is sent to a local file, console, or screen via printing or logging.

Example 1: The following code prints System information to the standard output stream:


...
println(Properties.osName)
...


Depending upon the system configuration, this information can be dumped to a console, written to a log file, or exposed to a user. In some cases, the error message provides the attacker with the precise type of attack to which the system is vulnerable. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system. In Example 1, the leaked information could imply information about the type of operating system, the applications installed on the system, and the amount of care that the administrators have put into configuring the program.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An internal information leak occurs when system data or debugging information is sent via logging or printing to a local file, console, or screen.



In the mobile world, other areas of concern for maintaining system information arise when a device has been lost or stolen. Once in possession of an iOS device, an attacker may access a great deal of data by connecting the device by USB. Files such as iOS Property Lists (plists) and SQLite databases are easily accessed and can disclose personal information. As a general rule, privacy related information should not be stored unprotected on the file system.

Example 1: The following code prints the device identifier to the system logs:


let deviceName = UIDevice.currentDevice().name
...
NSLog("Device Identifier: %@", deviceName)


Depending upon the system configuration, this information can be dumped to a console, written to a log file, or exposed to a user. In some cases the error message tells the attacker precisely what sort of an attack the system will be vulnerable to. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information could enable an adversary to use system information to plan an attack.
Explanation
An internal information leak occurs when system data or debug information is sent to a local file, console, or screen via printing or logging.

Example 1: The following code sends an ASPError object to a script debugger, such as the Microsoft Script Debugger:


...
Debug.Write Server.GetLastError()
...


In some cases the error message tells the attacker precisely what sort of an attack the system is vulnerable to. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system, such as information about the type of operating system, the applications installed on the system, and the amount of care that the administrators have put into configuring the program.

Abstract
Disclosing the IP addressing scheme of the internal network can allow attackers to discover internal systems and expand the attack surface.
Explanation
Internal IP can be leaked due to:
1. Developer comments in application code
2. Unrestricted access to configuration files
3. Details revealed in verbose error messages
4. Server misconfiguration or failure to patch vulnerable servers causing an IP to be revealed in HTTP headers
Leaked IP addresses can allow an adversary to discover internal servers and gain access to restricted resources.

Abstract
System information which is stored and not protected, such as device IDs in a clear-text file, endangers system security. Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An internal information leak occurs when system data or debugging information is sent via logging or printing to a local file, console, or screen.

Example 1: The following XML contains system information about a device stored in a plist file. Among other values that are stored, the UDID key stores a Unique Device Identifier.



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>systemName</key>
<string>John's iPhone</string>
<key>systemInfo</key>
<dict>
<key>UDID</key>
<string>2b6f0cc904d137be2e1730235f5664094b831186</string>
<key>systemVersion</key>
<string>4.2</string>
<key>model</key>
<string>iPhone</string>
<key>localizedModel</key>
<string>iPhone</string>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>



The code in Example 1 stores private user information from the mobile device in an unprotected plist file stored on the device. Although many developers trust plist files as a safe storage location for any and all data, it should not be trusted implicitly particularly when system information and privacy are a concern, since plist files could be read by anyone in possession of the device.

Abstract
Revealing verbose error messages can enable an attacker to learn about the application and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
LDAP error messages can reveal details about the users and network hosts. The foremost defense that applications can use against malicious attacks is minimizing the application knowledge revealed to the attacker. Most prominent vulnerabilities occur as a result of unintended application behavior triggered by unexpected user input.

Attackers exploit this fact to force applications into disclosing details about their functionality. Error messages act as a primary source of this knowledge. Details revealed via LDAP error messages can enable an attacker to effectively craft LDAP injection payloads.

Abstract
Disclosure of LDAP queries can allow attackers to retrieve information from an LDAP server using LDAP injection.
Explanation
Hardcoding LDAP queries into the application code or revealing them in error messages can expose sensitive information such as variable names or path information. It can also disclose valuable information about the structure of an LDAP query. An attacker can use this information to manipulate the LDAP statement or filter and retrieve user records or execute arbitrary LDAP commands.

Abstract
The application enables sensitive data logging, which can expose system information or compromise private user data.
Explanation
Avoid logging SQL queries in production systems. SQL queries often contain sensitive information, such as credit card details or social security numbers, and logging this information in plain text can compromise its confidentiality.

Example 1: The following Entity Framwork Core Framework code sets the EnableSensitiveDataLogging option to true which allows application data used in database commands to be included in logging and exception messages.

...
services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options => {
options.UseSqlServer(_configuration.GetConnectionString("ApplicationDbConnection"));
options.EnableSensitiveDataLogging(true);
});
...

desc.semantic.dotnet.system_information_leak_overly_broad_sql_logging
Abstract
Logging too much information about SQL queries can expose system information or compromise private user data.
Explanation
Avoid logging SQL queries in production systems. SQL queries often contain sensitive information, such as credit card details or social security numbers, and logging this information in plain text can compromise its confidentiality.

Example 1: The following entries from log4j.properties file causes all queries to be logged at the info level.

...
log4j.logger.net.sf.hibernate.type=info
log4j.logger.net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl=info

Abstract
Revealing data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
If the display_errors option is enabled, errors are displayed to the Web, which can illustrate potential weaknesses to an attacker. For example, a database error message can reveal that the application is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Other error messages can reveal more oblique clues about the system.

Abstract
Revealing detailed system information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
If the expose_php option is enabled, every response produced by the PHP interpreter includes the version of PHP installed on the host system. Armed with the version of PHP running on the remote server, an attacker may enumerate the known exploits against the system, which can greatly lower the cost of mounting a successful attack.

Abstract
Automatically generated JavaScript proxy files can leak system information as they list all the exposed methods in the Hubs.
Explanation
If you do not want to include all of the hubs and methods in the JavaScript proxy file for each user, you can disable the automatic generation of the file. You might choose this option if you have multiple hubs and methods, but do not want every user to be aware of all of the methods.

Abstract
Enabling Spring Boot Actuators may reveal system data and debugging information which may help an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
Spring Boot Actuators allow users to monitor and interact with the application. There are different built-in Actuators which expose system data and debugging information through HTTP endpoints, JMX or even by remote shell (SSH or Telnet). Attackers may benefit from this information to learn about the system and gather information that could be used to attack the application.

Abstract
Disclosing SQL queries that an application uses used to communicate with the backend database can enable an attacker to steal sensitive information, manipulate the application's behavior, or interrupt the database operation.
Explanation
Information stored in the database is a prime target for attackers. Revealing information about the database structure through SQL queries exposes the application to severe threats such as information theft and denial of service. Disclosure of SQL queries, at a minimum, reveals details about the database technology used by the application. It can also provide specifics such as the database, table or column names.
An attacker can use this information to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Abstract
Revealing system data or debugging information helps an adversary learn about the system and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
An information leak occurs when system data or debug information leaves the program through an output stream or logging function.

In this case, the Struts 2 Config Browser is configured in the maven pom.xml file and so it is available and deployed along the application.

The Config Browser plugin is a debugging tool to help view an application's configuration at runtime. It is very useful when debugging problems that could be related to configuration issues but it exposes too many details that may help an attacker to map and model the application.

Abstract
Revealing detailed error messages can enable an attacker to learn about the application and form a plan of attack.
Explanation
XPath error messages can reveal details about the structure of XPath queries used by an application to interact with XML documents. The foremost defense that applications can use against malicious attacks is minimizing the application knowledge revealed to the attacker. Most prominent vulnerabilities occur as a result of unintended application behavior triggered by unexpected user input.

Attackers exploit this fact to force applications into disclosing details about their functionality. Error messages act as a primary source of this knowledge. Details revealed via XPath error messages could allow an attacker to effectively craft XPath injection payloads.

Abstract
Disclosing XPath queries used by an application to interact with XML documents could allow an attacker to steal sensitive information or disrupt the execution of the application.
Explanation
Applications using backend XML databases are prone to XPath injection issues. Revealing information about structure of the XML documents through XPath queries will expose the application to severe threats like information theft and denial of service. Disclosure of XPath queries could provide attackers with specifics like datatype information or the XML components used for storing sensitive information.
An attacker can use this information to orchestrate XPath injection attacks.

Abstract
User-controlled data is used as a template engine's template, which allows attackers to access the template context and in some cases inject and run arbitrary code.
Explanation
Template engines are used to render content using dynamic data. This context data is normally controlled by the user and formatted by the template to generate web pages, emails, and so on. Template engines allow powerful language expressions to be used in templates to render dynamic content, by processing the context data with code constructs such as conditionals, loops, etc. If an attacker can control the template to be rendered, they can inject expressions that expose context data or even run arbitrary commands on the server.

Example 1: The following example shows how a template is retrieved from an HTTP request and rendered.

app.get('/', function(req, res){
let param = req.params['template']
let val = req.params['templateVal']
let template = Handlebars.compile('{{user}}: {{' + param + '}}');
let templateInput = {}
templateInput['user'] = 'John'
templateInput[param] = val
let result = template(templateInput)
//...
});
Example 1 uses Handlebars as the template engine and user-controlled data is concatenated into the compiled template, which enables attackers to run arbitrary JavaScript.
