名稱: 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.

一般資訊

背景詳情

引入方式

Array : Applications may use caches to improve efficiency when communicating with remote entities or performing intensive calculations.

類別: Not Language-Specific (Undetermined)

常見後果

範圍 影響 可能性
ConfidentialityRead Application Data

注意:If the cache is accessible to unauthorized actors, attackers can read the cache and obtain this sensitive information.

觀察到的案例

參考資料 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

潛在緩解措施

Phases : Architecture and Design
Protect 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.

偵測方法

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

漏洞對應備注

理由說明 : 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.
備註 : 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.

相關攻擊模式

CAPEC ID 攻擊模式名稱
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.
