名前: Cleartext Storage in a File or on Disk
The product stores sensitive information in cleartext in a file, or on disk.
一般情報
導入モード
Architecture and Design : OMISSION: This weakness is caused by missing a security tactic during the architecture and design phase.適用可能なプラットフォーム

クラス： Not Language-Specific (Undetermined)一般的な結果
| スコープ | 影響 | 可能性 |
|---|---|---|
| Confidentiality | Read Application Data, Read Files or Directories 注記：The sensitive information could be read by attackers with access to the file, or with physical or administrator access to the raw disk. Even if the information is encoded in a way that is not human-readable, certain techniques could determine which encoding is being used, then decode the information. |

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.)有効性 : High
脆弱性マッピングノート
理由 : This CWE entry is at the Variant level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.コメント : 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.
ノート
Different people use "cleartext" and "plaintext" to mean the same thing: the lack of encryption. However, within cryptography, these have more precise meanings. Plaintext is the information just before it is fed into a cryptographic algorithm, including already-encrypted text. Cleartext is any information that is unencrypted, although it might be in an encoded form that is not easily human-readable (such as base64 encoding).登録情報
