Example 1 writes admin_password in plain text (unobfuscated) to the log output, as the value of secret is set to False. Although many developers trust the eventlog as a safe storage location for data, it should not be trusted implicitly, particularly when privacy is a concern.setuid root. The program performs certain file operations on behalf of non-privileged users, and uses access checks to ensure that it does not use its root privileges to perform operations that should not be available to the current user. The program uses the access() system call to check if the person running the program has permission to access the specified file before it opens the file and performs the necessary operations.
if (!access(file,W_OK)) {
f = fopen(file,"w+");
operate(f);
...
}
else {
fprintf(stderr,"Unable to open file %s.\n",file);
}
access() behaves as expected, and returns 0 if the user running the program has the necessary permissions to write to the file, and -1 otherwise. However, because both access() and fopen() operate on filenames rather than on file handles, there is no guarantee that the file variable still refers to the same file on disk when it is passed to fopen() that it did when it was passed to access(). If an attacker replaces file after the call to access() with a symbolic link to a different file, the program will use its root privileges to operate on the file even if it is a file that the attacker would otherwise be unable to modify. By tricking the program into performing an operation that would otherwise be impermissible, the attacker has gained elevated privileges.root privileges. If the application is capable of performing any operation that the attacker would not otherwise be allowed perform, then it is a possible target.
fd = creat(FILE, 0644); /* Create file */
if (fd == -1)
return;
if (chown(FILE, UID, -1) < 0) { /* Change file owner */
...
}
chown() is the same as the file created by the call to creat(), but that is not necessarily the case. Since chown() operates on a file name and not on a file handle, an attacker may be able to replace the file with a link to file the attacker does not own. The call to chown() would then give the attacker ownership of the linked file.CBL_CHECK_FILE_EXIST routine to check if the file exists before it creates one and performs the necessary operations.

CBL_CHECK_FILE_EXIST behaves as expected and returns a non-zero value, indicating that the file does not exist. However, because both CBL_CHECK_FILE_EXIST and CBL_CREATE_FILE operate on filenames rather than on file handles, there is no guarantee that the filename variable still refers to the same file on disk when it is passed to CBL_CREATE_FILE that it did when it was passed to CBL_CHECK_FILE_EXIST. If an attacker creates filename after the call to CBL_CHECK_FILE_EXIST, the call to CBL_CREATE_FILE will fail, leading the program to believe that the file is empty, when in fact it contains data controlled by the attacker.root privileges that performs certain file operations on behalf of non-privileged users, and uses access checks to ensure that it does not use its root privileges to perform operations that should not be available to the current user. By tricking the program into performing an operation that would otherwise be impermissible, the attacker might gain elevated privileges.Example 2: The following code deletes the given blob container and its contents.
...
var queueName = queryStringData['name'];
var queueSvc;
queueSvc = azureStorage.createQueueService();
...
queueSvc.deleteQueue(queueName, option, function(error, response){
if(!error){
// all the messages has been deleted
}
});
...
...
var containerName = queryStringData['name'];
var blobSvc;
blobSvc = azureStorage.createBlobService();
...
blobSvc.deleteContainer(containerName, function (error, response) {
if (!error) {
// all the content in the given container has been deleted
}
});
...
Example 1 and Example 2 delete the given queue/blob container and its messages/contents that belong to the current user/program, an attacker may delete any queue/blob for that Azure account. Because the code in this example does not check to ensure that the user/program has permission to clear the requested queue/blob, it will clear queue/blob, even if it does not belong to the current user/program.
function MyController(function($stateParams, $interpolate){
var ctx = { foo : 'bar' };
var interpolated = $interpolate($stateParams.expression);

}
$stateParams.expression will be taking potentially user-controlled data, and evaluating this as a template to be used with a specified context. This in turn may enable a malicious user to run any code they wish within the browser, retrieving information about the context it's run against, finding additional information about how the application is created, or turning this into a full blown XSS attack.

In Struts 2 version 2.3.20 the mechanism to invoke the alternative method that was previously based on reflection, was substituted to use OGNL instead which allowed attackers to provide malicious OGNL expressions instead of an alternative method name.

However, since the program does not specify an absolute path for make and does not scrub any environment variables prior to invoking the command, the attacker may modify their $PATH variable to point to a malicious binary named make and execute the CGI script from a shell prompt.

CreateProcess() parses spaces, the first executable the operating system will try to execute is Program.exe, not MyApplication.exe. Therefore, if an attacker is able to install a malicious application called Program.exe on the system, any program that incorrectly calls CreateProcess() using the Program Files directory will run this application instead of the intended one.system(), exec(), and CreateProcess() use the environment of the program that calls them, and therefore attackers have a potential opportunity to influence the behavior of these calls.$PATH or other aspects of the program's execution environment.make in the /var/yp directory.

make and fails to clean its environment prior to executing the call to child_process.exec(). If an attacker can modify the $PATH variable to point to a malicious binary called make and cause the program to be executed in their environment, then the malicious binary will be loaded instead of the one intended. Because of the nature of the application, it runs with the privileges necessary to perform system operations, which means the attacker's make will now be run with these privileges, possibly giving the attacker complete control of the system.APPHOME to determine the directory in which it is installed and then executes an initialization script based on a relative path from the specified directory.

Example 1 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the elevated privilege of the application by modifying the system property APPHOME to point to a different path containing a malicious version of INITCMD. Because the program does not validate the value read from the environment, if an attacker can control the value of the system property APPHOME, then they can fool the application into running malicious code and take control of the system.rman utility and then run a cleanup.bat script to delete some temporary files. The script rmanDB.bat accepts a single command line parameter, which specifies the type of backup to perform. Because access to the database is restricted, the application runs the backup as a privileged user.

Delegate field in a given class introduces an arbitrary code execution vulnerability when deserializing the class.Delegate type is used to hold reference to a method call that can be invoked later in the user code. .NET uses custom serialization while serializing Delegate types and utilizes the System.DelegateSerializationHolder class to store the method information that are attached or subscribed to a Delegate. The serialized stream of Delegate object is not suitable for persistent storage or passing it to remote application, because if an attacker can replace the method information with one which points to a malicious object graph, the attacker will be able to run arbitrary code.Delegate field and is getting invoked in the Executor method:
...
[Serializable]
class DynamicRunnner
{
Delegate _del;
string[] _arg;
public DynamicRunnner(Delegate dval, params string[] arg)
{
_del = dval;
_arg = arg;
}
public bool Executor()
{
return (bool)_del.DynamicInvoke(_arg);
}
}
...
Example 1, an attacker may replace the method information with one which points to Process.Start, causing the creation of an arbitrary process when the Executor method is called.

productCategory = this.getIntent().getExtras().getString("productCategory");
sortColumn = this.getIntent().getExtras().getString("sortColumn");
customerID = getAuthenticatedCustomerID(customerName, customerCredentials);
c = invoicesDB.query(Uri.parse(invoices), columns, "productCategory = '" + productCategory + "' and customerID = '" + customerID + "'", null, null, null, "'" + sortColumn + "'asc", null);
...
select * from invoices
where productCategory = 'Fax Machines'
and customerID = '12345678'
order by 'price' asc
productCategory. So the query behaves correctly only if productCategory and sortColumn do not contain single-quote characters. If an attacker provides the string "Fax Machines' or productCategory = \"" for productCategory, and the string "\" order by 'price" for sortColumn, then the query becomes:
select * from invoices
where productCategory = 'Fax Machines' or productCategory = "'
and customerID = '12345678'
order by '" order by 'price' asc
select * from invoices
where productCategory = 'Fax Machines'
or productCategory = "' and customerID = '12345678' order by '"
order by 'price' asc
customerID and allows the attacker to view invoice records matching 'Fax Machines' for all customers.
