CWE-163: Improper Neutralization of Multiple Trailing Special Elements
CWE版本: 4.18
更新日期: 2025-09-09
弱点描述
The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes multiple trailing special elements that could be interpreted in unexpected ways when they are sent to a downstream component.
扩展描述
As data is parsed, improperly handled multiple trailing special elements may cause the process to take unexpected actions that result in an attack.
常见后果
影响范围: Integrity
技术影响: Unexpected State
潜在缓解措施
描述: Developers should anticipate that multiple trailing special elements will be injected/removed/manipulated in the input vectors of their product. Use an appropriate combination of denylists and allowlists to ensure only valid, expected and appropriate input is processed by the system.

策略: Output Encoding
描述: While it is risky to use dynamically-generated query strings, code, or commands that mix control and data together, sometimes it may be unavoidable. Properly quote arguments and escape any special characters within those arguments. The most conservative approach is to escape or filter all characters that do not pass an extremely strict allowlist (such as everything that is not alphanumeric or white space). If some special characters are still needed, such as white space, wrap each argument in quotes after the escaping/filtering step. Be careful of argument injection (CWE-88).
阶段: Implementation
策略: Input Validation
描述: Inputs should be decoded and canonicalized to the application's current internal representation before being validated (CWE-180). Make sure that the application does not decode the same input twice (CWE-174). Such errors could be used to bypass allowlist validation schemes by introducing dangerous inputs after they have been checked.
