tid-324
Vulnerability from emb3d
Description

If a device does not properly authenticate all HTTP requests, a threat actor can directly send a request to a specific URL to access data or initiate a device function. This could be used to access/download sensitive data or perform unwanted changes to settings or functions on a device. This typically requires that the threat actor directly knows the URL of the specific file/object/page, rather than depending on the existing links provided by the web application. This is especially problematic for files hosted on a web server (e.g., txt, pdf) since the authentication mechanisms provided by the web application framework may not enforce access controls on those files.

  • CWE-639: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key
