潛在緩解措施

Phases : Implementation
Refactor the code to avoid dynamic variable evaluation whenever possible.
Phases : Implementation
Use only allowlists of acceptable variable or function names.
Phases : Implementation
For function names, ensure that you are only calling functions that accept the proper number of arguments, to avoid unexpected null arguments.

漏洞對應備注

理由說明 : 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.
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.

備注

Under-studied, probably under-reported. Few researchers look for this issue; most public reports are for PHP, although other languages are affected. This issue is likely to grow in PHP as developers begin to implement functionality in place of register_globals.
