Consider storing cryptographic hashes of passwords as an alternative to storing in plaintext.

示例代码

例

Below is a snippet from a Java properties file.

bad Java

Because the LDAP credentials are stored in plaintext, anyone with access to the file can gain access to the resource.

例

The following examples show a portion of properties and configuration files for Java and ASP.NET applications. The files include username and password information but they are stored in plaintext.

This Java example shows a properties file with a plaintext username / password pair.

bad Java

The following example shows a portion of a configuration file for an ASP.Net application. This configuration file includes username and password information for a connection to a database but the pair is stored in plaintext.

bad ASP.NET

Username and password information should not be included in a configuration file or a properties file in plaintext as this will allow anyone who can read the file access to the resource. If possible, encrypt this information and avoid CWE-13.
