Reino: Input Validation and Representation

Los problemas de validación y representación de entradas están causados por metacaracteres, codificaciones alternativas y representaciones numéricas. Los problemas de seguridad surgen de entradas en las que se confía. Estos problemas incluyen: «desbordamientos de búfer», ataques de «scripts de sitios», "SQL injection" y muchas otras acciones.

Struts: Form Field Without Validator

Abstract
Todos los campos de un formulario deben validarse en el formulario de validación correspondiente.
Explanation
Omitir la validación incluso para un solo campo de entrada puede facilitar a los atacantes el margen de maniobra que necesitan.

La entrada sin marcar es la causa principal de algunos de los problemas de seguridad de software peores y más comunes de la actualidad. Los ataques Cross-Site Scripting, SQL Injection y las vulnerabilidades detectadas en el control de los procesos tienen todos su origen en la validación incorrecta o inexistente de entradas. Aunque las aplicaciones J2EE no suelen ser susceptibles a ataques de corrupción de memoria, si una aplicación J2EE interactúa con código nativo que no comprueba límites de matriz, un atacante puede usar un error de validación de entrada en la aplicación J2EE para lanzar un ataque de desbordamiento de búfer.

Algunas aplicaciones utilizan el mismo ActionForm para más de un propósito. En situaciones como esta, es posible que haya campos que no se utilicen en algunas asignaciones de acción. Es fundamental que los campos sin utilizar también se validen. Preferiblemente, los campos sin usar se deben limitar de manera que solo puedan estar vacíos o sin definir. Si los campos sin usar no se validan, la lógica de negocios compartida en una acción podría permitir a los atacantes anular las comprobaciones de validación que se llevan a cabo para otros usos del formulario.
