Lack of data validation - Source Code

Lack of data validation - Source Code

Description

Within the source code there is evidence of the use of dangerous regular expressions, because they make use of complex operations to find matches, which can lead an attacker to send a specific string of data that could cause the server to crash when evaluating the string with the dangerous regular expression.

Impact

Generate server crash.

Recommendation

Securely configure the vulnerable service so, it can only be accessed by authorized users.

Threat

Anonymous attacker from the Internet.

Expected Remediation Time

⌚ 60 minutes.
