CWE-1428—Reliance on HTTP instead of HTTPS

名称

Reliance on HTTP instead of HTTPS

描述

The product provides or relies on use of HTTP communications when HTTPS is available.

Because HTTP communications are not encrypted, HTTP is subject to various attacks against confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity. However, unlike many other protocols, HTTPS is widely available as a more secure alternative, because it uses encryption.

常见后果

范围：

Confidentiality, Integrity

影响：

Read Application Data, Modify Application Data

注释：

HTTP can be subjected to attacks against confidentiality (by reading cleartext packets); integrity (by modifying sessions); and authenticity (by compromising servers and/or clients using cache poisoning, phishing, or other attacks that enable attackers to spoof a legitimate entity in the communication channel).
