CWE-653Improper Isolation or Compartmentalization

Category: other

Description

The product does not properly compartmentalize or isolate functionality, processes, or resources that require different privilege levels, rights, or permissions. When a weakness occurs in functionality that is accessible by lower-privileged users, then without strong boundaries, an attack might extend the scope of the damage to higher-privileged users.

Common consequences· 1

  • Access Control — Gain Privileges or Assume Identity, Bypass Protection Mechanism
    The exploitation of a weakness in low-privileged areas of the software can be leveraged to reach higher-privileged areas without having to overcome any additional obstacles.

Potential mitigations· 1

  • [Architecture and Design]Break up privileges between different modules, objects, or entities. Minimize the interfaces between modules and require strong access control between them.
