User Interface (UI) Misrepresentation of Critical Information
CWE-451
The user interface (UI) does not properly represent critical information to the user, allowing the information - or its source - to be obscured or spoofed. This is often a component in phishing attacks.
We track 81 vulnerabilities of this type. 100% are rated high or critical, and the average CVSS score is 8.5. 2 have been exploited in real attacks.
How this weakness is prevented
- Implementation: Perform data validation (e.g. syntax, length, etc.) before interpreting the data.
- Architecture and Design: Create a strategy for presenting information, and plan for how to display unusual characters.
