CWE-627: Dynamic Variable Evaluation

Variant Incomplete Simple

CWE版本: 4.18

更新日期: 2025-09-09

弱点描述

In a language where the user can influence the name of a variable at runtime, if the variable names are not controlled, an attacker can read or write to arbitrary variables, or access arbitrary functions.

扩展描述

The resultant vulnerabilities depend on the behavior of the application, both at the crossover point and in any control/data flow that is reachable by the related variables or functions.

常见后果

影响范围: Confidentiality Integrity Availability

技术影响: Modify Application Data Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands

说明: An attacker could gain unauthorized access to internal program variables and execute arbitrary code.

潜在缓解措施

阶段: Implementation

策略: Refactoring

描述: Refactor the code to avoid dynamic variable evaluation whenever possible.

阶段: Implementation

策略: Input Validation

描述: Use only allowlists of acceptable variable or function names.

阶段: Implementation

描述: For function names, ensure that you are only calling functions that accept the proper number of arguments, to avoid unexpected null arguments.
