Official description
The Cognex 3D-A1000 Dimensioning System in firmware version 1.0.3 (3354) and prior is vulnerable to CWE-602: Client-Side Enforcement of Server-Side Security, which could allow attackers to bypass web access controls by inspecting and modifying the source code of password protected web elements.
Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.
The underlying weakness: Client-Side Enforcement of Server-Side Security
The product includes a server that relies on the client to implement a protection mechanism that is intended to protect the server.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- If some degree of trust is required between the two entities, then use integrity checking and strong authentication to ensure that the inputs are coming from a trusted source. Design the product so that this trust is managed in a centralized fashion, especially if there are complex or numerous communication channels, in order to reduce the risks that the implementer will mistakenly omit a check in a single code path.
