Class | Definition |
DVL | Data Validation (DVL) class – Data are validated (i.e., syntax check) or sanitized (i.e., escape, filter, or repair) improperly. |
Operation | Definition |
Validate | Validate operation – Check data syntax (e.g., proper form or grammar, missing symbols or elements) in order to accept or sanitize it. |
Cause/Consequence | Definition |
Code Bug | Code Bug type – An error in the implementation of an operation – proper operands over an improper operation. It is the roor cause of a security vulnerability. Must be fixed to resolve the vulnerability. |
Missing Code | Missing Code bug - The operation is misplaced entirely absent. |
Injection Final Error | Injection final error type – An exploitable or undefined system behavior caused by validation or sanitization bugs. |
Source Code Injection | Source Code Injection final error – Maliciously inserted new code (incl. with <> elements) into an input used as a part of an executing application code. |
Operation Attribute | Definition |
Mechanism | Mechanism operation attribute type – Shows how the operation the operation with a bug or faulty operand is performed. |
Safelist | Safelist operation attribute – The operation is via a policy based on a set of known good content. |
Source Code | Source Code operation attribute type – Shows where the code of the operation with a bug or faulty operand resides within the software, firmware, or hardware. |
Codebase | Codebase operation attribute – The operation is in the programmer's code - in the application itself. |
Execution Space | Execution Space operation attribute type – Shows where the operation with a bug or faulty operand is executed and the privilege level at which it runs. |
Local | Local operation attribute – The bugged code runs in an environment with access control policy with limited (local user) permission. |
Operand Attribute | Definition |
Data State | Data State operand attribute type – Shows where the data comes from. |
Entered | Entered operand attribute – Data are from a user via a user interface (e.g., input field of a dialog or a command prompt). |
