CWE-598: Use of GET Request Method With Sensitive Query Strings
CWE版本: 4.18
更新日期: 2025-09-09
弱点描述
The web application uses the HTTP GET method to process a request and includes sensitive information in the query string of that request.
常见后果
影响范围: Confidentiality
技术影响: Read Application Data
说明: At a minimum, attackers can garner information from query strings that can be utilized in escalating their method of attack, such as information about the internal workings of the application or database column names. Successful exploitation of query string parameter vulnerabilities could lead to an attacker impersonating a legitimate user, obtaining proprietary data, or simply executing actions not intended by the application developers.
潜在缓解措施
阶段: Implementation
描述: When sensitive information is sent, use the POST method (e.g. registration form).
检测方法
方法: Automated Static Analysis
Automated static analysis, commonly referred to as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), can find some instances of this weakness by analyzing source code (or binary/compiled code) without having to execute it. Typically, this is done by building a model of data flow and control flow, then searching for potentially-vulnerable patterns that connect "sources" (origins of input) with "sinks" (destinations where the data interacts with external components, a lower layer such as the OS, etc.)
有效性: High
观察示例
参考: CVE-2022-23546
A discussion platform leaks private information in GET requests.
