Access Control | ['Bypass Protection Mechanism', 'Gain Privileges or Assume Identity'] | This weakness can allow an attacker to access resources which are not otherwise accessible without proper authentication. |
The following code authenticates users.
bad Java
The authentication mechanism implemented relies on an IP address for source validation. If an attacker is able to spoof the IP, they may be able to bypass the authentication mechanism.
Both of these examples check if a request is from a trusted address before responding to the request.
bad C
bad Java
The code only verifies the address as stored in the request packet. An attacker can spoof this address, thus impersonating a trusted client
The following code samples use a DNS lookup in order to decide whether or not an inbound request is from a trusted host. If an attacker can poison the DNS cache, they can gain trusted status.
bad C
bad Java
bad C#
IP addresses are more reliable than DNS names, but they can also be spoofed. Attackers can easily forge the source IP address of the packets they send, but response packets will return to the forged IP address. To see the response packets, the attacker has to sniff the traffic between the victim machine and the forged IP address. In order to accomplish the required sniffing, attackers typically attempt to locate themselves on the same subnet as the victim machine. Attackers may be able to circumvent this requirement by using source routing, but source routing is disabled across much of the Internet today. In summary, IP address verification can be a useful part of an authentication scheme, but it should not be the single factor required for authentication.
