Reino: Security Features

La seguridad de un software no es un software de seguridad. Nos preocupamos de cuestiones como la autenticación, el control de acceso, la confidencialidad, la criptografía y la gestión de privilegios.

ASP.NET Bad Practices: Use of Impersonation Context

Abstract
La suplantación de las credenciales de usuario podría permitir a un usuario malintencionado obtener acceso no autorizado a recursos protegidos.
Explanation
Las aplicaciones Microsoft ASP.NET pueden suplantar el contexto de seguridad del usuario actual o el proceso que las llama para ejecutar operaciones con privilegios. Aunque los contextos de suplantación presentan diversos fines útiles como, por ejemplo, la reducción del número general de intentos de autenticación que debe realizarse, un programa que mantenga privilegios elevados plantea de forma innecesaria un riesgo para la seguridad general del sistema. Si un usuario malintencionado explota otra vulnerabilidad en el programa mientras se ejecuta en otro contexto de seguridad, todas las operaciones no autorizadas que realice este usuario se ejecutarán con los privilegios correspondientes.

Ejemplo 1: el siguiente ejemplo de código representa un patrón de uso típico de suplantación de credenciales mediante el método WindowsIdentity.Impersonate().


using System.Security.Principal;
...

//Get the identity of the current user
IIdentity contextId = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity;
WindowsIdentity userId = (WindowsIdentity)contextId;

//Temporarily impersonate
WindowsImpersonationContext imp = userId.Impersonate();

//Perform tasks using the caller's security context
DoSecuritySensitiveTasks();

//Clean up and restore our old security context
impersonate.Undo();


El código del Example 1 suplanta el contexto de seguridad del usuario actual y lo utiliza para realizar una operación con privilegios. Después de llamar a DoSecuritySensitiveTasks(), el código intenta restablecer el contexto de seguridad original, pero, si DoSecuritySensitiveTasks() genera una excepción, no se llamará nunca al método Undo(), por lo que el programa seguirá usando el contexto de seguridad suplantado.
