名称: Struts: Incomplete validate() Method Definition

The product has a validator form that either does not define a validate() method, or defines a validate() method but does not call super.validate().

Implementation

适用平台

编程语言

名称： Java (Undetermined)

常见后果

影响范围	影响	可能性
Other	Unexpected State, Varies by Context 注意： If the code does not call super.validate(), the Validation Framework cannot check the contents of the form against a validation form. In other words, the validation framework will be disabled for the given form. Disabling the validation framework for a form exposes the product to numerous types of attacks.
Confidentiality Integrity Availability Other	Other 注意： Although J2EE applications are not generally susceptible to memory corruption attacks, if a J2EE application interfaces with native code that does not perform array bounds checking, an attacker may be able to use an input validation mistake in the J2EE application to launch a buffer overflow attack.

潜在缓解措施

Phases : Implementation
Implement the validate() method and call super.validate() within that method.

检测方法

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.)
有效性 : High

漏洞映射说明

依据 : 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.
备注 : 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.

备注

This could introduce other weaknesses related to missing input validation.
The current description implies a loose composite of two separate weaknesses, so this node might need to be split or converted into a low-level category.
