SEI CERT Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java - Guidelines 05. Object Orientation (OBJ)
A category in the Common Weakness Enumeration published by The MITRE Corporation.
Summary
Categories in the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) group entries based on some common characteristic or attribute.
Weaknesses in this category are related to the rules and recommendations in the Object Orientation (OBJ) section of the SEI CERT Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java.
Weaknesses
The code contains a class with sensitive data, but the class is cloneable. The data can then be accessed by cloning the class.
The product compares classes by name, which can cause it to use the wrong class when multiple classes can have the same name.
The product declares a critical variable, field, or member to be public when intended security policy requires it to be private.
The product sends non-cloned mutable data as an argument to a method or function.
A class has a cloneable() method that is not declared final, which allows an object to be created without calling the constructor. This can cause the object to be in a...
An object contains a public static field that is not marked final, which might allow it to be modified in unexpected ways.
Sending non-cloned mutable data as a return value may result in that data being altered or deleted by the calling function.
Inner classes are translated into classes that are accessible at package scope and may expose code that the programmer intended to keep private to attackers.
Concepts
CWE entries in this view (graph) are fully or partially eliminated by following the guidance presented in the online wiki that reflects that current rules and recommen...
