Improper privilege management

Privilege escalation happens when a malicious user gains elevated access to resources that should be unavailable to them.

Unauthenticated LDAP requests

Unauthenticated LDAP requests can allow untrusted access to LDAP servers.

Path traversal

Constructing path names with unsanitized user input can lead to path traversal attacks (for example, ../../..) that allow an attacker access to file system resources.

Loose file permissions

Weak file permissions can lead to privilege escalation.

File injection

Writing unsanitized user data to a file is unsafe.

XML External Entity

Objects that parse or handle XML can lead to XML External Entity (XXE) attacks when misconfigured.

Improper input validation

Improper input validation can enable attacks and lead to unwanted behavior.

Improper authentication

Your code doesn't sufficiently authenticate identities provided by its users.

Insecure cookie

Insecure cookies can lead to unencrypted transmission of sensitive data.

XPath injection

Potentially unsanitized user input in XPath queries can allow an attacker to control the query in unwanted or insecure ways.

Missing authorization

Missing authorization checks can lead to unauthorized access to a resource or performance of an action.

SQL injection

Use of untrusted inputs in a SQL database query can enable attackers to read, modify, or delete sensitive data in the database

Improper certificate validation

Lack of validation of a security certificate can lead to host impersonation and sensitive data leaks.

URL redirection to untrusted site

User-controlled input that specifies a link to an external site could lead to phishing attacks and allow user credentials to be stolen.

Stack trace exposure

Stack traces can be hard to use for debugging.

OS command injection

Constructing operating system or shell commands with unsanitized user input can lead to inadvertently running malicious code.

AWS credentials logged

Logging unencrypted AWS credentials can expose them to an attacker.

Sensitive data stored unencrypted due to partial encryption

Encryption that is dependent on conditional logic, such as an if...then clause, might cause unencrypted sensitive data to be stored.

Unrestricted upload of dangerous file type

Insufficiently restrictive file uploads can lead to inadvertently running malicious code.

Insecure connection using unencrypted protocol

Connections that use insecure protocols transmit data in cleartext, which can leak sensitive information.

Insecure Socket Bind

Binding the socket with an empty IP address can introduce security risks.

Insecure CORS policy

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing policies that are too permissive may lead to security vulnerabilities.

Cross-site request forgery

Insecure configuration can lead to a cross-site request forgery (CRSF) vulnerability.

Weak algorithm used for Password Hashing

Weak algorithm used for Password Hashing. Consider using stronger algorithms, such as Argon2, PBKDF2, or scrypt.

Sensitive information leak

Exposure of sensitive information can lead to an unauthorized actor having access to the information.

Docker arbitrary container run

Passing an unsanitized user argument to a function call makes your code insecure.

Public method parameter validation

Public method parameters should be validated for nullness, unexpected values, and malicious values.

Insecure cryptography

Weak, broken, or misconfigured cryptography can lead to security vulnerabilities.

Cross-site scripting

Relying on potentially untrusted user inputs when constructing web application outputs can lead to cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.

Insecure temporary file or directory

Insecure ways of creating temporary files and directories can lead to race conditions, privilege escalation, and other security vulnerabilities.

Deserialization of untrusted object

Deserialization of untrusted objects can lead to security vulnerabilities such as inadvertently running remote code.

Insecure hashing

Obsolete, broken, or weak hashing algorithms can lead to security vulnerabilities.

Using AutoAddPolicy or WarningPolicy

Using AutoAddPolicy or WarningPolicy can allow a malicious server to impersonate a trusted server.

Log injection

Using untrusted inputs in a log statement can enable attackers to break the log's format, forge log entries, and bypass log monitors.

Weak obfuscation of web request

Weak obfuscation while configuring a web request.

Unsanitized input is run as code

Scripts generated from unsanitized inputs can lead to malicious behavior and inadvertently running code remotely.

Hardcoded credentials

Credentials, such as passwords and access keys, should not be hardcoded in source code.

Server-side request forgery

Insufficient sanitization of potentially untrusted URLs on the server side can allow server requests to unwanted destinations.

Module injection

Untrusted user imports in the importlib.import_module() function allow attacks.

LDAP injection

LDAP queries that rely on potentially untrusted inputs can allow attackers to read or modify sensitive data, run code, and perform other unwanted actions.

Clear text credentials

Credentials that are stored in clear text can be intercepted by a malicious actor.
