이름: Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input

The product receives input that is expected to specify a quantity (such as size or length), but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the quantity has the required properties.

일반 정보

취약점 도입 방식

Implementation : Code may rely on specified quantities to allocate resources, perform calculations, control iteration, etc. Since quantities are often used to affect resource allocation or process financial data, they are often present in many places in the code.

적용 가능한 플랫폼

클래스: Not Language-Specific (Often)

Varies by Context, DoS: Resource Consumption (CPU), Modify Memory, Read Memory

참고: When the quantity is not properly validated, then attackers can specify malicious quantities to cause excessive resource allocation, trigger unexpected failures, enable buffer overflows, etc.

참고 자료 설명

CVE-2025-4037

ATM simulator does not check for negative values with deposits or withdrawals, allowing attackers to increase their balance

CVE-2025-46687

Chain: Javascript engine code does not perform a length check (CWE-1284) leading to integer overflow (CWE-190) causing allocation of smaller buffer than expected (CWE-131) resulting in a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122)

CVE-2019-19911

Chain: Python library does not limit the resources used to process images that specify a very large number of bands (CWE-1284), leading to excessive memory consumption (CWE-789) or an integer overflow (CWE-190).

CVE-2008-1440

lack of validation of length field leads to infinite loop

CVE-2008-2374

lack of validation of string length fields allows memory consumption or buffer over-read

탐지 방법

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.)

취약점 매핑 메모

근거 : 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.
댓글 : 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.

This entry is still under development and will continue to see updates and content improvements.
