Nome: Incomplete Internal State Distinction

The product does not properly determine which state it is in, causing it to assume it is in state X when in fact it is in state Y, causing it to perform incorrect operations in a security-relevant manner.

Pattern di attacco correlati

CAPEC-ID Nome del pattern di attacco
CAPEC-140 Bypassing of Intermediate Forms in Multiple-Form Sets
Some web applications require users to submit information through an ordered sequence of web forms. This is often done if there is a very large amount of information being collected or if information on earlier forms is used to pre-populate fields or determine which additional information the application needs to collect. An attacker who knows the names of the various forms in the sequence may be able to explicitly type in the name of a later form and navigate to it without first going through the previous forms. This can result in incomplete collection of information, incorrect assumptions about the information submitted by the attacker, or other problems that can impair the functioning of the application.
CAPEC-74 Manipulating State

Note

This conceptually overlaps other categories such as insufficient verification, but this entry refers to the product's incorrect perception of its own state.
This is probably resultant from other weaknesses such as unhandled error conditions, inability to handle out-of-order steps, multiple interpretation errors, etc.
This entry is being considered for deprecation. It was poorly-defined in PLOVER and is not easily described using the behavior/resource/property model of vulnerability theory.
