The underlying weakness: Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data
The code transmits data to another actor, but a portion of the data includes sensitive information that should not be accessible to that actor.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Specify which data in the software should be regarded as sensitive. Consider which types of users should have access to which types of data.
- Ensure that any possibly sensitive data specified in the requirements is verified with designers to ensure that it is either a calculated risk or mitigated elsewhere. Any information that is not necessary to the functionality should be removed in order to lower both the overhead and the possibility of security sensitive data being sent.
- Setup default error messages so that unexpected errors do not disclose sensitive information.
