CWE-922 敏感信息的不安全存储
Insecure Storage of Sensitive Information
结构: Simple
Abstraction: Class
状态: Incomplete
被利用可能性: unkown
基本描述
The software stores sensitive information without properly limiting read or write access by unauthorized actors.
扩展描述
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.

常见的影响
| 范围 | 影响 | 注释 |
|---|---|---|
| Confidentiality | ['Read Application Data', 'Read Files or Directories'] | Attackers can read sensitive information by accessing the unrestricted storage mechanism. |
| Integrity | ['Modify Application Data', 'Modify Files or Directories'] | Attackers can read sensitive information by accessing the unrestricted storage mechanism. |
Notes
Relationship There is an overlapping relationship between insecure storage of sensitive information (CWE-922) and missing encryption of sensitive information (CWE-311). Encryption is often used to prevent an attacker from reading the sensitive data. However, encryption does not prevent the attacker from erasing or overwriting the data. Maintenance This is a high-level node that includes children from various parts of the CWE research view (CWE-1000). Currently, most of the information is in these child entries. This entry will be made more comprehensive in later CWE versions.
