Weakness (CWE)

CWE-497: Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere

Base Incomplete

The product does not properly prevent sensitive system-level information from being accessed by unauthorized actors who do not have the same level of access to the underlying system as the product does.

How to prevent it (1 mitigation)

  1. Architecture and Design, Implementation

    Production applications should never use methods that generate internal details such as stack traces and error messages unless that information is directly committed to a log that is not viewable by the end user. All error message text should be HTML entity encoded before being written to the log file to protect against potential cross-site scripting attacks against the viewer of the logs
