注意:If a resource is not initialized, it could contain unpredictable or expired data, or it could be initialized to defaults that are invalid. This can have security implications when the resource is expected to have certain properties or values. | |
| Confidentiality | Read Memory, Read Application Data
注意:When reusing a resource such as memory or a program variable, the original contents of that resource may not be cleared before it is sent to an untrusted party. | |
| Availability | DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart
注意:The uninitialized resource may contain values that cause program flow to change in ways that the programmer did not intend. | |

描述 |
| A variable that has its value set in a conditional statement is sometimes used when the conditional fails, sometimes causing data leakage |
| Chain: Bypass of access restrictions due to improper authorization (CWE-862) of a user results from an improperly initialized (CWE-909) I/O permission bitmap |
潛在緩解措施
Phases : Implementation
Explicitly initialize the resource before use. If this is performed through an API function or standard procedure, follow all specified steps.
Phases : Implementation
Pay close attention to complex conditionals that affect initialization, since some branches might not perform the initialization.
Phases : Implementation
Avoid race conditions (CWE-362) during initialization routines.
Phases : Build and Compilation
Run or compile your product with settings that generate warnings about uninitialized variables or data.
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.)
