CWE-455: Non-exit on Failed Initialization

Base Draft Simple

CWE版本: 4.18

更新日期: 2025-09-09

弱点描述

The product does not exit or otherwise modify its operation when security-relevant errors occur during initialization, such as when a configuration file has a format error or a hardware security module (HSM) cannot be activated, which can cause the product to execute in a less secure fashion than intended by the administrator.

常见后果

影响范围: Integrity Other

技术影响: Modify Application Data Alter Execution Logic

说明: The application could be placed in an insecure state that may allow an attacker to modify sensitive data or allow unintended logic to be executed.

潜在缓解措施

阶段: Implementation

描述: Follow the principle of failing securely when an error occurs. The system should enter a state where it is not vulnerable and will not display sensitive error messages to a potential attacker.

观察示例

参考: CVE-2005-1345

Product does not trigger a fatal error if missing or invalid ACLs are in a configuration file.
