CWE-914 动态识别变量的控制不恰当

Improper Control of Dynamically-Identified Variables

结构: Simple

Abstraction: Base

状态: Incomplete

被利用可能性: unkown

基本描述

The software does not properly restrict reading from or writing to dynamically-identified variables.

扩展描述

Many languages offer powerful features that allow the programmer to access arbitrary variables that are specified by an input string. While these features can offer significant flexibility and reduce development time, they can be extremely dangerous if attackers can modify unintended variables that have security implications.

可能的缓解方案

Implementation

策略: Input Validation

For any externally-influenced input, check the input against a white list of internal program variables that are allowed to be modified.

['Implementation', 'Architecture and Design']

策略: Refactoring

Refactor the code so that internal program variables do not need to be dynamically identified.

示例代码

This code uses the credentials sent in a POST request to login a user.

bad PHP

//Log user in, and set $isAdmin to true if user is an administrator

function login($user,$pass){
$query = buildQuery($user,$pass);
mysql_query($query);
if(getUserRole($user) == "Admin"){
$isAdmin = true;
}
}

$isAdmin = false;
extract($_POST);
login(mysql_real_escape_string($user),mysql_real_escape_string($pass));

The call to extract() will overwrite the existing values of any variables defined previously, in this case $isAdmin. An attacker can send a POST request with an unexpected third value "isAdmin" equal to "true", thus gaining Admin privileges.
