CWE-493 缺少Final Modifier的关键公开变量

Critical Public Variable Without Final Modifier

结构: Simple

Abstraction: Variant

状态: Draft

被利用可能性: High

基本描述

The product has a critical public variable that is not final, which allows the variable to be modified to contain unexpected values.

扩展描述

If a field is non-final and public, it can be changed once the value is set by any function that has access to the class which contains the field. This could lead to a vulnerability if other parts of the program make assumptions about the contents of that field.

Implementation

策略:

Declare all public fields as final when possible, especially if it is used to maintain internal state of an Applet or of classes used by an Applet. If a field must be public, then perform all appropriate sanity checks before accessing the field from your code.

示例代码

例

Suppose this WidgetData class is used for an e-commerce web site. The programmer attempts to prevent price-tampering attacks by setting the price of the widget using the constructor.

bad Java

The price field is not final. Even though the value is set by the constructor, it could be modified by anybody that has access to an instance of WidgetData.

例

Assume the following code is intended to provide the location of a configuration file that controls execution of the application.

bad C++

bad Java

While this field is readable from any function, and thus might allow an information leak of a pathname, a more serious problem is that it can be changed by any function.
