A file inclusion vulnerability is a type of web vulnerability that is most commonly found to affect web applications that rely on a scripting run time.This issue is caused when an application builds a path to executable code using an attacker-controlled variable in a way that allows the attacker to control which file is executed at run time.
Process URI requests that do not result in a file request, e.g., executing a hook into user code, before continuing below. When a URI request for a file/directory is to be made, build a full path to the file/directory if it exists, and normalize all characters (e.g., %20 converted to spaces).
React does not attempt to provide a complete application library. It is designed specifically for building user interfaces [5] and therefore does not include many of the tools some developers might consider necessary to build an application. This allows the choice of whichever libraries the developer prefers to accomplish tasks such as ...
Code injection is the malicious injection or introduction of code into an application. Some web servers have a guestbook script, which accepts small messages from users and typically receives messages such as: Very nice site! However, a malicious person may know of a code injection vulnerability in the guestbook and enter a message such as:
Linux kernel developers chose not to add mitigations citing performance concerns. [72] The Xen hypervisor project released patches to mitigate the vulnerability but they are not enabled by default. [73] Also in March 2024, a vulnerability in Intel Atom processors called Register File Data Sampling (RFDS) was revealed. [74] It was assigned CVE ...
On its own, an arbitrary code execution exploit will give the attacker the same privileges as the target process that is vulnerable. [11] For example, if exploiting a flaw in a web browser, an attacker could act as the user, performing actions such as modifying personal computer files or accessing banking information, but would not be able to perform system-level actions (unless the user in ...
It is not essential that a user login to exploit session fixation attacks [1] and, although these unauthenticated attacks are not constrained to cross-sub-domain cookie attacks, the implications of sub-domain attacks are relevant to these unauthenticated scenarios. For example, Mallory may provide a URL from their evil site, fixating a session ...
A symlink race is a kind of software security vulnerability that results from a program creating files in an insecure manner. [1] A malicious user can create a symbolic link to a file not otherwise accessible to them.
