Phạm vi Tác động Khả năng xảy ra

Các biện pháp giảm thiểu tiềm năng

Phases : Implementation
Use allowlists of variable names that can be extracted.
Phases : Implementation
Consider refactoring your code to avoid extraction routines altogether.
Phases : Implementation
In PHP, call extract() with options such as EXTR_SKIP and EXTR_PREFIX_ALL; call import_request_variables() with a prefix argument. Note that these capabilities are not present in all PHP versions.

Ghi chú ánh xạ lỗ hổng

Lý do : 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.
Bình luận : 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.

Ghi chú

Probably under-reported for PHP. Seems under-studied for other interpreted languages.
