The CERT Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java (2011) Chapter 2 - Input Validation and Data Sanitization (IDS)
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 rules in the Input Validation and Data Sanitization (IDS) chapter of The CERT Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java (2011).
Weaknesses
The product performs authentication based on the name of a resource being accessed, or the name of the actor performing the access, but it does not properly check all ...
The product filters data in a way that causes it to be reduced or "collapsed" into an unsafe value that violates an expected security property.
The product prepares a structured message for communication with another component, but encoding or escaping of the data is either missing or done incorrectly. As a re...
The product does not handle or incorrectly handles a compressed input with a very high compression ratio that produces a large output.
The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could be interpreted as escape, meta...
The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could be interpreted as line delimit...
The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes...
The product uses or specifies an encoding when generating output to a downstream component, but the specified encoding is not the same as the encoding that is expected...
The product validates input before it is canonicalized, which prevents the product from detecting data that becomes invalid after the canonicalization step.
The product uses a regular expression that does not sufficiently restrict the set of allowed values.
The product uses a function that accepts a format string as an argument, but the format string originates from an external source.
The product defines policy namespaces and makes authorization decisions based on the assumption that a URL is canonical. This can allow a non-canonical URL to bypass t...
