Nom: Deployment of Wrong Handler

The wrong "handler" is assigned to process an object.

Description du CWE

An example of deploying the wrong handler would be calling a servlet to reveal source code of a .JSP file, or automatically "determining" type of the object even if it is contradictory to an explicitly specified type.

Références Description

CVE-2001-0004

Source code disclosure via manipulated file extension that causes parsing by wrong DLL.

CVE-2002-0025

Web browser does not properly handle the Content-Type header field, causing a different application to process the document.

CVE-2000-1052

Source code disclosure by directly invoking a servlet.

Arbitrary Perl functions can be loaded by calling a non-existent function that activates a handler.

Mesures d’atténuation potentielles

Phases : Architecture and Design
Perform a type check before interpreting an object.
Phases : Architecture and Design
Reject any inconsistent types, such as a file with a .GIF extension that appears to consist of PHP code.

Notes de cartographie des vulnérabilités

Justification : 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.
Commentaire : 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.

Modèles d'attaque associés

CAPEC-ID Nom du modèle d'attaque
CAPEC-11 Cause Web Server Misclassification
An attack of this type exploits a Web server's decision to take action based on filename or file extension. Because different file types are handled by different server processes, misclassification may force the Web server to take unexpected action, or expected actions in an unexpected sequence. This may cause the server to exhaust resources, supply debug or system data to the attacker, or bind an attacker to a remote process.
