Khả năng xảy ra |
| Access Control | Bypass Protection Mechanism
Ghi chú: The regexp could accept substrings that match the pattern, which produces a partial comparison to the target. In some cases, this can allow dangerous substrings to bypass the intended protection. | |

Mô tả |
| Chain: regex in EXIF processor code does not correctly determine where a string ends (CWE-625), enabling eval injection (CWE-95), as exploited in the wild per CISA KEV. |
| ".*" regexp leads to static code injection |
| insertion of username into regexp results in partial comparison, causing wrong database entry to be updated when one username is a substring of another. |
| regexp intended to verify that all characters are legal, only checks that at least one is legal, enabling file inclusion. |
| Regexp for IP address isn't anchored at the end, allowing appending of shell metacharacters. |
| Regexp isn't "anchored" to the beginning or end, which allows spoofed values that have trusted values as substrings. |
| regexp in .htaccess file allows access of files whose names contain certain substrings |
| allow load of macro files whose names contain certain substrings. |

Phases : Implementation
When applicable, ensure that the regular expression marks beginning and ending string patterns, such as "/^string$/" for Perl.

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.)
Hiệu quả : High
Ghi chú ánh xạ lỗ hổng
Lý do : 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.
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.
