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 2: Unvalidated Action

Abstract
Las acciones de Struts2 deben utilizar el marco de validación de Struts para evitar las vulnerabilidades resultantes de la entrada sin comprobar.
Explanation
Las entradas no comprobadas son la causa principal de vulnerabilidades en aplicaciones J2EE. Las entradas no comprobadas pueden provocar gran cantidad de vulnerabilidades, como Cross-Site Scripting, Process Control y SQL Injection. Si bien las aplicaciones J2EE no suelen ser vulnerables a los ataques dirigidos a dañar la memoria, si una aplicación J2EE entra en contacto con código nativo que no comprueba los límites de matriz, un atacante puede aprovechar un error de validación de entrada en la aplicación J2EE para lanzar un ataque de buffer overflow.

Para impedir dichos ataques, use el marco de validación de Struts para comprobar toda la entrada de programa antes que la aplicación la procese. Utilice Fortify Static Code Analyzer para asegurarse de que no existen agujeros en la configuración del validador Struts.

Entre los ejemplos de uso del validador se incluye la comprobación para asegurarse de que:

- Los campos de números de teléfono contienen solo caracteres válidos de números de teléfono.

- Los valores booleanos son solo "T" o "F".

- Las cadenas de formato libre son de una longitud y composición razonables.
