Naam: Use of a Key Past its Expiration Date

The product uses a cryptographic key past its expiration date.

Algemene informatie

Introductiemodi

Architecture and Design : REALIZATION: This weakness is caused during implementation of an architectural security tactic.

Toepasselijke platforms

Taal

Klasse: Not Language-Specific (Undetermined)

Veelvoorkomende gevolgen

Bereik Impact Waarschijnlijkheid
Access ControlBypass Protection Mechanism, Gain Privileges or Assume Identity

Opmerking: Using a key past its expiration data increases the timing window for cracking attacks against that key. Or, the key in question may be compromised, providing a malicious user with a method for authenticating as the victim.

CVE-2021-33020

Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) system for hospitals uses a cryptographic key or password past its expiration date

Mogelijke risicobeperkingen

Phases : Architecture and Design
Adequate consideration should be put into the user interface in order to notify users previous to the key's expiration, to explain the importance of new key generation and to walk users through the process as painlessly as possible.
Phases : Implementation
Replace keys within a period of time proportional to their strength.

Notities kwetsbaarheidsmapping

Rechtvaardiging : 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.
Opmerking : 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.
