Tên: J2EE Misconfiguration: Missing Custom Error Page

The product has a J2EE component that does not have a custom error page.

Thông tin chung

Các cách xuất hiện

Array : Without a custom error page, J2EE may serve a default error page that includes potentially sensitive information.

ConfidentialityRead Application Data

Ghi chú: When an attacker explores a web site looking for vulnerabilities, the amount of information that the site provides is crucial to the eventual success or failure of any attempted attacks. A stack trace might show the attacker a malformed SQL query string, the type of database being used, and the version of the application container. This information enables the attacker to target known vulnerabilities in these components.

Các biện pháp giảm thiểu tiềm năng

Phases : Implementation
Handle exceptions appropriately in source code. Catch java.lang.Throwable exceptions to prevent attackers from mining information from the application container's built-in error response.
Phases : Implementation // System Configuration
Always define appropriate error pages, including for 4xx errors (e.g. 404) and 5xx (e.g. 500) errors. The application configuration should specify a default error page in order to guarantee that the application will never leak error messages to an attacker. Handling standard HTTP error codes is useful and user-friendly in addition to being a good security practice, and a good configuration will also define a last-chance error handler that catches any exception that could possibly be thrown by the application.
Phases : Implementation
Do not attempt to process an error or attempt to mask it.
Phases : Implementation
Verify return values are correct and do not supply sensitive information about the system.

Phương pháp phát hiện

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.)

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.
