CWE-288 (使用候选路径或通道进行的认证绕过) — Vulnerability Class 453

453 vulnerabilities classified as CWE-288 (使用候选路径或通道进行的认证绕过). AI Chinese analysis included.

CWE-288 represents a critical authentication weakness where a system enforces security controls on primary interfaces while neglecting them on alternate paths or channels. Attackers typically exploit this by identifying overlooked entry points, such as administrative APIs, debug endpoints, or legacy protocols, which lack proper credential verification. By bypassing the main authentication gate, adversaries gain unauthorized access to sensitive data or functionality without needing valid credentials. To mitigate this risk, developers must adopt a comprehensive security architecture that treats all access channels equally. This involves implementing centralized authentication mechanisms across every interface, conducting rigorous code reviews to identify hidden endpoints, and performing thorough penetration testing that specifically targets non-standard access routes. Ensuring consistent security policies prevents attackers from exploiting these structural gaps to compromise system integrity.

MITRE CWE Description
The product requires authentication, but the product has an alternate path or channel that does not require authentication.
Common Consequences (1)
Access ControlBypass Protection Mechanism
Mitigations (1)
Architecture and DesignFunnel all access through a single choke point to simplify how users can access a resource. For every access, perform a check to determine if the user has permissions to access the resource.
Examples (1)
Register SECURE_ME is located at address 0xF00. A mirror of this register called COPY_OF_SECURE_ME is at location 0x800F00. The register SECURE_ME is protected from malicious agents and only allows access to select, while COPY_OF_SECURE_ME is not. Access control is implemented using an allowlist (as indicated by a…
