CWE-922 (敏感信息的不安全存储) — Vulnerability Class 96

96 vulnerabilities classified as CWE-922 (敏感信息的不安全存储). AI Chinese analysis included.

CWE-922 represents a critical data protection weakness where applications store sensitive information without enforcing adequate access controls. This flaw typically allows attackers to exploit insufficient read permissions to steal confidential data, such as credentials or personal identifiable information, or leverage inadequate write restrictions to modify or delete records, potentially causing data corruption or denial of service. To mitigate this risk, developers must implement strict file system permissions, ensuring that only authorized processes can access sensitive files. Additionally, employing robust encryption for data at rest, utilizing secure key management practices, and regularly auditing access logs are essential strategies. By rigorously limiting both read and write operations to trusted entities, organizations can significantly reduce the attack surface and protect the integrity and confidentiality of stored information against unauthorized exploitation.

MITRE CWE Description
The product stores sensitive information without properly limiting read or write access by unauthorized actors. If read access is not properly restricted, then attackers can steal the sensitive information. If write access is not properly restricted, then attackers can modify and possibly delete the data, causing incorrect results and possibly a denial of service.
Common Consequences (2)
ConfidentialityRead Application Data, Read Files or Directories
Attackers can read sensitive information by accessing the unrestricted storage mechanism.
IntegrityModify Application Data, Modify Files or Directories
Attackers can overwrite sensitive information by accessing the unrestricted storage mechanism.
Examples (1)
In 2022, the OT:ICEFALL study examined products by 10 different Operational Technology (OT) vendors. The researchers reported 56 vulnerabilities and said that the products were "insecure by design" [REF-1283]. If exploited, these vulnerabilities often allowed adversaries to change how the products operated, ranging from denial of service to changing the code that the products executed. Since these…
