J2EE Misconfiguration: Duplicate Security Role

Java/JSP

Abstract

存在多个同名安全角色。安全角色重复往往表示遗留调试代码或印刷错误。

Explanation

安全角色重复无任何意义，因为仅应用给定安全角色的最后一个定义。
示例 1：web.xml 文件中的条目定义了两个 admin 角色。


<security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
        <web-resource-name>AdminPage</web-resource-name>
        <description>Admin only pages</description>
        <url-pattern>/auth/noaccess/*</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <auth-constraint>
        <description>Administrators only</description>
        <role-name>admin</role-name>
    </auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
...
<security-role>
    <description>Administrator</description>
    <role-name>admin</role-name>
</security-role>

<security-role>
    <description>Non-Administrator</description>
    <role-name>admin</role-name>
</security-role>
