Nama: Missing User Interaction for Potentially Unsafe Action

The product encounters a situation in which some of its behavior is security-critical and should be authorized by a human before progressing, but it does not properly consult with the human user or its proxy (such as UI approval dialogues or pre-set policies) to determine whether it is allowed to perform the potentially dangerous behavior.

Informasi Umum

Mode Pengenalan

Architecture and Design : The architecture or design might include a component or potentially dangerous functionality that could effectively act independently.
Implementation : A bug in the implementation could cause the product to fail to recognize that it is about to perform a dangerous operation requiring a human decision.

CVE-2005-0602	File extractor does not warn user if setuid/setgid files could be extracted. Overlaps privileges/permissions.
CVE-2000-0342	Chain: E-mail client allows bypass of warning for dangerous attachments (CWE-356) via a Windows .LNK file that refers to the attachment (CWE-64).

Mitigasi yang Memungkinkan

Phases : Architecture and Design
Product systems should warn users that a potentially dangerous action may occur if the user proceeds. For example, if the user downloads a file from an unknown source and attempts to execute the file on their machine, then the application's GUI can indicate that the file is unsafe.

Catatan Pemetaan Kerentanan

Justifikasi : 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.
Komentar : 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.

Catatan

Often resultant, e.g. in unhandled error conditions.
Can overlap privilege errors, conceptually at least.
