CWECWE-732: Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource
OWASPA05:2021 - Security Misconfiguration
Confidence LevelMedium
Impact LevelMedium
Likelihood LevelMedium

Description

The policy grants administrative (’*’) access to all actions and resources without any restrictions or explicit deny rules. This means anyone assigned this policy can perform any operation in your AWS environment.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker or unauthorized user could gain full control over AWS resources, including modifying, deleting, or exposing sensitive data. This significantly increases the risk of data breaches, service disruptions, and unauthorized changes across your entire AWS account.

CWECWE-185: Incorrect Regular Expression
OWASPA05:2017 - Broken Access Control
Confidence LevelMedium
Impact LevelMedium
Likelihood LevelMedium

Description

The code uses format validations with regular expressions that do not explicitly anchor the start (\A) and end (\Z) of the input. This means partial or unintended matches can slip through, allowing invalid or malicious input to be accepted.

Impact

Attackers could bypass input validation by crafting payloads that only partially match the intended pattern, potentially leading to security issues such as unauthorized access, account creation with invalid data, or injection attacks. This weakens the reliability of input checks and may expose sensitive functionality or data.

CWECWE-704: Incorrect Type Conversion or Cast
OWASPA03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
Confidence LevelLow
Impact LevelLow
Likelihood LevelLow

Description

Using Integer.toHexString() to convert hash or byte data to a hex string can strip leading zeroes from each byte, resulting in inconsistent or incorrect representations. This can cause different byte values to appear the same in the output.

Impact

Incorrect hex conversion increases the risk of hash collisions, meaning distinct data may be represented by the same hash value. This weakens data integrity checks, potentially allowing attackers to bypass authentication, tamper with data, or cause other security failures that rely on unique hash values.

CWECWE-704: Incorrect Type Conversion or Cast
OWASPA03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
Confidence LevelLow
Impact LevelLow
Likelihood LevelLow

Description

When converting hash bytes to a hexadecimal string using Integer.toHexString(), leading zeroes are dropped, causing some bytes to be represented incorrectly. This can result in different hash values mapping to the same string and weakens the uniqueness of the hash.

Impact

If hash values are not represented accurately, attackers could exploit collisions to bypass integrity checks or authentication mechanisms that rely on these hashes. This could expose sensitive data or allow unauthorized access, undermining the application’s security controls.

CWECWE-704: Incorrect Type Conversion or Cast
Confidence LevelMedium
Impact LevelMedium
Likelihood LevelMedium

Description

User input is being directly converted to types like float(), bool(), or complex() without validation. This lets attackers submit ‘NaN’ (not-a-number) values that Python accepts, which can cause unexpected or incorrect behavior in your code.

Impact

If exploited, attackers can manipulate application logic—such as bypassing authentication checks or causing errors in sorting, comparison, or calculations—leading to data corruption, security bypasses, or unpredictable app behavior.

Description

User input is being directly inserted into SQL query strings, making the code vulnerable to SQL injection. This happens when queries are manually constructed with untrusted data instead of using parameterized queries.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could alter, steal, or delete database records by injecting malicious SQL code. This can lead to data breaches, loss of data integrity, and compromise of sensitive information, potentially affecting both users and the organization.

Likelihood LevelMedium

Description

User input is being passed directly into float(), bool(), or complex() typecasts without validation. This lets an attacker supply ’nan’, causing unpredictable behavior in comparisons or calculations.

Impact

If exploited, attackers can inject NaN values that break sorting, min/max functions, and logical checks, potentially bypassing security logic, corrupting data processing, or causing application errors that may lead to further vulnerabilities or system instability.

CWECWE-1333: Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity
OWASPA01:2017 - Injection
Confidence LevelMedium
Impact LevelMedium
Likelihood LevelLow

Description

The code creates regular expressions with no or excessively long timeouts, which means regex operations could run indefinitely if given complex or malicious input. This leaves the application vulnerable to resource exhaustion.

Impact

An attacker could craft input that causes the regex engine to hang, potentially freezing the application or making it unresponsive. This can lead to denial of service, impacting system reliability and availability for legitimate users.

Description

The code uses regular expressions to process input without specifying a timeout. This allows attackers to supply specially crafted input that can cause the regex engine to consume excessive CPU resources.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could send input that makes the application hang or become unresponsive, leading to a denial-of-service. This could disrupt service for legitimate users and potentially impact system availability or reliability.

OWASPA05:2021 - Security Misconfiguration
Confidence LevelLow
Impact LevelMedium
Likelihood LevelMedium

Description

Your code uses a regular expression pattern that may be vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS). This means certain inputs could cause the regex to take an excessive amount of time to process, leading to performance problems.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could send specially crafted input to your application, causing it to slow down or become unresponsive. This can result in denial of service, making your application unavailable to legitimate users and potentially impacting business operations.
