Weakness (CWE)

CWE-213: Exposure of Sensitive Information Due to Incompatible Policies

Base Draft

The product's intended functionality exposes
information to certain actors in accordance with the
developer's security policy, but this information is regarded
as sensitive according to the intended security policies of
other stakeholders such as the product's administrator,
users, or others whose information is being
processed.

How to prevent it (1 mitigation)
  1. Requirements, Architecture and Design

    When handling information, the developer must
    consider whether the information is regarded as sensitive
    by different stakeholders, such as users or administrators.
    Each stakeholder effectively has its own intended security
    policy that the product is expected to uphold.

    When a developer does not treat that information
    as sensitive, this can introduce a vulnerability that
    violates the expectations of the product's users.
