名前: Exposed Unsafe ActiveX Method

An ActiveX control is intended for use in a web browser, but it exposes dangerous methods that perform actions that are outside of the browser's security model (e.g. the zone or domain).

注記:If there is no integrity checking or origin validation, this method could be invoked by attackers. Since ActiveX controls can exercise far greater control over the operating system than typical Java or javascript, exposed methods can be subject to various vulnerabilities. Consequences depend on the implemented behaviors of those methods, and whether input validation is performed on the provided arguments.

潜在的な緩和策

Phases : Implementation
If you must expose a method, make sure to perform input validation on all arguments, and protect against all possible vulnerabilities.
Phases : Architecture and Design
Use code signing, although this does not protect against any weaknesses that are already in the control.
Phases : Architecture and Design // System Configuration
Where possible, avoid marking the control as safe for scripting.

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.
