Name: Reusing a Nonce, Key Pair in Encryption

Nonces should be used for the present occasion and only once.

Allgemeine Informationen

Hintergrundinformationen

Einführungsmodi

Architecture and Design : REALIZATION: This weakness is caused during implementation of an architectural security tactic.

Anwendbare Plattformen

Sprache

Class: Not Language-Specific (Undetermined)

Häufige Konsequenzen

Bereich Auswirkung Wahrscheinlichkeit
Access ControlBypass Protection Mechanism, Gain Privileges or Assume Identity

Note: Potentially a replay attack, in which an attacker could send the same data twice, could be crafted if nonces are allowed to be reused. This could allow a user to send a message which masquerades as a valid message from a valid user.

Mögliche Gegenmaßnahmen

Phases : Implementation
Refuse to reuse nonce values.
Phases : Implementation
Use techniques such as requiring incrementing, time based and/or challenge response to assure uniqueness of nonces.

Erkennungsmethoden

Automated Static Analysis

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.)

Hinweise zur Schwachstellen-Zuordnung

Begründung : This CWE entry is at the Base level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.
Kommentar : Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.
