Nom: DEPRECATED: Insecure Temporary File

This entry has been deprecated. It was focused only on the affected resource (temporary file) and not the behavior or mistake that produced the insecure temporary file, which caused confusion and incorrect mappings.

Informations générales

Notes de cartographie des vulnérabilités

Justification : This CWE entry has been deprecated.
Commentaire : This entry has multiple widespread interpretations by CWE analysts, partially due to its ambiguous name. It combines information from three different taxonomies, but each taxonomy is talking about a slightly different issue. See Maintenance Notes.

Modèles d'attaque associés

CAPEC-ID Nom du modèle d'attaque
CAPEC-149 Explore for Predictable Temporary File Names
An attacker explores a target to identify the names and locations of predictable temporary files for the purpose of launching further attacks against the target. This involves analyzing naming conventions and storage locations of the temporary files created by a target application. If an attacker can predict the names of temporary files they can use this information to mount other attacks, such as information gathering and symlink attacks.
CAPEC-155 Screen Temporary Files for Sensitive Information
An adversary exploits the temporary, insecure storage of information by monitoring the content of files used to store temp data during an application's routine execution flow. Many applications use temporary files to accelerate processing or to provide records of state across multiple executions of the application. Sometimes, however, these temporary files may end up storing sensitive information. By screening an application's temporary files, an adversary might be able to discover such sensitive information. For example, web browsers often cache content to accelerate subsequent lookups. If the content contains sensitive information then the adversary could recover this from the web cache.
