Nama: Improper Restriction of Recursive Entity References in DTDs
The product uses XML documents and allows their structure to be defined with a Document Type Definition (DTD), but it does not properly control the number of recursive definitions of entities.

| Cakupan | Dampak | Kemungkinan |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | DoS: Resource Consumption (Other) Catatan: If the DTD contains a large number of nested or recursive entities, this allows the attacker to expand data exponentially when the DTD is parsed, quickly consuming all system resources. |

Mitigasi yang Memungkinkan
Phases : OperationIf possible, prohibit the use of DTDs or use an XML parser that limits the expansion of recursive DTD entities.
Phases : Implementation
Before parsing XML files with associated DTDs, scan for recursive entity declarations and do not continue parsing potentially explosive content.
Metode Deteksi
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.)Efektivitas : High
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.
Pola Serangan Terkait
| CAPEC ID | Nama Pola Serangan |
|---|---|
| CAPEC-197 | Exponential Data Expansion
An adversary submits data to a target application which contains nested exponential data expansion to produce excessively large output. Many data format languages allow the definition of macro-like structures that can be used to simplify the creation of complex structures. However, this capability can be abused to create excessive demands on a processor's CPU and memory. A small number of nested expansions can result in an exponential growth in demands on memory. |
