Common consequences· 1
- Access Control — Bypass Protection Mechanism
Potential mitigations· 3
- [Architecture and Design]Avoid making decisions based on names of resources (e.g. files) if those resources can have alternate names.
- [Implementation]
- [Implementation]Inputs should be decoded and canonicalized to the application's current internal representation before being validated (CWE-180). Make sure that the application does not decode the same input twice (CWE-174). Such errors could be used to bypass allowlist validation schemes by introducing dangerous inputs after they have been checked.
