スコープ 影響 可能性
IntegrityModify Application Data

注記:If a field is non-final and public, it can be changed once the value is set by any function that has access to the class that contains the field. The object could potentially be tampered with. This could lead to a vulnerability if other parts of the program make assumptions about the contents of the field.
ConfidentialityRead Application Data

注記:The object could potentially allow the object to be read.

潜在的な緩和策

Phases : Implementation
Declare all public fields as final when possible, especially if it is used to maintain internal state of an Applet or of classes used by an Applet. If a field must be public, then perform all appropriate sanity checks before accessing the field from your code.

検出方法

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.
