CWE-183Permissive List of Allowed Inputs

Description

The product implements a protection mechanism that relies on a list of inputs (or properties of inputs) that are explicitly allowed by policy because the inputs are assumed to be safe, but the list is too permissive - that is, it allows an input that is unsafe, leading to resultant weaknesses.

Common consequences

• Access Control→Bypass Protection Mechanism
