界: Input Validation and Representation

输入验证与表示问题是由元字符、交替编码和数字表示引起的。安全问题源于信任输入。这些问题包括:“Buffer Overflows”、“Cross-Site Scripting”攻击、“SQL Injection”等其他问题。

Denial of Service: Format String

Abstract
如果允许用户输入控制格式参数,则攻击者能够借此造成异常抛出或信息泄露。
Explanation
攻击者可以修改格式字符串参数,以造成异常抛出。如果未能捕获此异常,则可能导致应用程序崩溃。或者,如果其他参数中使用了敏感信息,攻击者可能会更改格式字符串以泄露此信息。

示例 1:用户可通过以下代码指定 Formatter.format() 的格式字符串参数。


...
Formatter formatter = new Formatter(Locale.US);
String format = "The customer: %s %s has the balance %4$." + userInput + "f";
formatter.format(format, firstName, lastName, accountNo, balance);
...


此程序的最初设计旨在让用户指定所显示余额的小数点。但在现实情况中,对此并没有限制。如果用户可以指定所有内容,则可能会导致抛出如 java.util.MissingFormatArgumentException 等异常。此外,由于它不在 try 块中,因此可能会造成应用程序故障。
针对此示例,更严重的情况是:如果攻击者可以指定用户输入 "2f %3$s %4$.2",则格式字符串可能会是 "The customer: %s %s has the balance %4$.2f %3$s %4$.2"。这可能会导致敏感的 accountNo 包含在生成的字符串中。
