Etkilenen güvenlik alanları: Other

Variations in indentation and other white space, comments, etc. can make it more difficult for human analysts to understand the actual behavior that is being implemented.

Savunma

Nasıl önlenir ve çözülür?

  • Follow secure coding guidelines for input handling and boundary checking.
  • Enforce strict security reviews and automated static analysis (SAST) checks.

Automated Static Analysis

High
Automated static analysis, commonly referred to as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), can find some instances of this weakness by analyzing source code (or binary/compiled code) without having to execute it. Typically, this is done by building a model of data flow and control flow, then searching for potentially-vulnerable patterns that connect "sources" (origins of input) with "sinks" (destinations where the data interacts with external components, a lower layer such as the OS, etc.)

Automated Static Analysis - Source Code

An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) or linter can report or highlight this weaknesses.
