CWECWE-416: Use After Free
Confidence LevelLow
Impact LevelHigh
Likelihood LevelLow

Description

This vulnerability occurs when a variable is used in a function after it has already been freed with free(). Accessing or passing freed memory can cause the program to behave unpredictably or crash.

Impact

An attacker could exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary code, cause application crashes, or leak sensitive data. Use-after-free bugs are a common target for serious security attacks, potentially leading to full system compromise.

Description

The code uses the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, which is outdated and no longer secure for protecting sensitive data. SHA-1 is vulnerable to collision attacks, making it unsuitable for cryptographic purposes such as password hashing or digital signatures.

Impact

If SHA-1 is used, attackers may be able to create different inputs that produce the same hash, allowing them to bypass authentication, forge data, or compromise the integrity of stored information. This can lead to data breaches, unauthorized access, and loss of trust in the application’s security.

Description

The code uses outdated cryptographic algorithms like DES or RC2, which are no longer considered secure. Modern, secure alternatives such as AES or ChaCha20Poly1305 should be used instead.

Impact

Attackers may be able to break encryption that uses DES or RC2, leading to exposure of sensitive data such as passwords, personal information, or confidential business data. This can result in data breaches, compliance violations, and loss of user trust.

Description

The code is using ECB (Electronic Codebook) mode for encryption, which does not properly hide patterns in the data and is considered insecure. Instead, you should use authenticated encryption modes like AES-GCM or ChaCha20Poly1305.

Impact

If ECB mode is used, attackers can detect patterns and potentially recover sensitive information from encrypted data, even without the key. This can lead to exposure of confidential data and weaken the overall security of your application.

Description

MD5 is being used to hash passwords, but it is a weak and outdated algorithm that attackers can easily crack. Passwords should be hashed using secure algorithms like bcrypt.

Impact

If attackers breach your password database, they can quickly recover user passwords due to MD5’s vulnerabilities. This can lead to account takeovers, data breaches, and loss of user trust in your application.

Description

The TLS configuration is missing a minimum protocol version, which means the server or client may allow insecure, outdated versions like TLS 1.0 or 1.2. This leaves encrypted connections vulnerable to known attacks on older TLS protocols.

Impact

If exploited, attackers could intercept or manipulate sensitive data by exploiting weaknesses in outdated TLS versions. This can lead to data breaches, loss of confidentiality or integrity, and failure to comply with security standards.

Description

The code configures TLS to allow SSLv3, which is an outdated and insecure protocol with known vulnerabilities. Modern best practices require using a secure TLS version like TLS 1.3 instead.

Impact

If SSLv3 is enabled, attackers could exploit its weaknesses to decrypt sensitive data or perform man-in-the-middle attacks, potentially exposing user information or compromising secure communications.

Description

The use of the net/http/cgi package in Go is insecure because it is vulnerable to httpoxy attacks (CVE-2015-5386). This package can allow attackers to manipulate HTTP headers in ways that compromise application security.

Impact

If exploited, attackers could intercept or redirect sensitive data, interfere with backend requests, or expose confidential information. This can lead to data leaks, unauthorized access, or broader application compromise, putting both user data and system integrity at risk.
