名称: Use of Cache Containing Sensitive Information
The code uses a cache that contains sensitive information, but the cache can be read by an actor outside of the intended control sphere.

类： Not Language-Specific (Undetermined)常见后果
| 影响范围 | 影响 | 可能性 |
|---|---|---|
| Confidentiality | Read Application Data 注意： If the cache is accessible to unauthorized actors, attackers can read the cache and obtain this sensitive information. |
观察示例
| 参考资料 | 描述 |
|---|---|
CVE-2024-30127 | Product does not set the "no-cache" option in the HTTP Cache-Control header, allowing sensitive information to be cached |
潜在缓解措施
Phases : Architecture and DesignProtect information stored in cache.
Phases : Architecture and Design
Do not store unnecessarily sensitive information in the cache.
Phases : Architecture and Design
Consider using encryption in the cache.
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 Base 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.

| CAPEC-204 | Lifting Sensitive Data Embedded in Cache
An adversary examines a target application's cache, or a browser cache, for sensitive information. Many applications that communicate with remote entities or which perform intensive calculations utilize caches to improve efficiency. However, if the application computes or receives sensitive information and the cache is not appropriately protected, an attacker can browse the cache and retrieve this information. This can result in the disclosure of sensitive information. |
