Nama: Improper Authorization of Index Containing Sensitive Information

The product creates a search index of private or sensitive documents, but it does not properly limit index access to actors who are authorized to see the original information.

Informasi Umum

Mode Pengenalan

Array : Web sites and other document repositories may apply an indexing routine against a group of private documents to facilitate search. This issue can appear in search engines that are not configured (or implemented) to ignore critical files that should remain hidden; even without permissions to download these files directly, the remote user could read them.

Konsekuensi Umum

Cakupan Dampak Kemungkinan
ConfidentialityRead Application Data

Catatan: If the index's results are available to parties who do not have access to the documents being indexed, then attackers could obtain portions of the documents by conducting targeted searches and reading the results. The risk is especially dangerous if search results include surrounding text that was not part of the search query.

A search application's access control rules are not properly applied to indices for data streams, allowing for the viewing of sensitive information.

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

This weakness is probably under-studied and under-reported.
