CWE-494 (下载代码缺少完整性检查) — Vulnerability Class 119

119 vulnerabilities classified as CWE-494 (下载代码缺少完整性检查). AI Chinese analysis included.

CWE-494 represents a critical integrity verification weakness where software retrieves and executes code from remote sources without adequately validating its origin or authenticity. This vulnerability is typically exploited by attackers who compromise the distribution server, manipulate DNS records to redirect requests to malicious hosts, or intercept and alter the code during transit via man-in-the-middle attacks. Consequently, the application unknowingly runs compromised payloads, leading to full system takeover or data exfiltration. To mitigate this risk, developers must implement robust cryptographic verification mechanisms, such as digital signatures or checksums, ensuring that downloaded artifacts match their expected values. Additionally, utilizing secure transport protocols like HTTPS and maintaining strict certificate validation further prevents tampering, thereby guaranteeing that only trusted, unmodified code is executed within the application environment.

MITRE CWE Description
The product downloads source code or an executable from a remote location and executes the code without sufficiently verifying the origin and integrity of the code. An attacker can execute malicious code by compromising the host server, performing DNS spoofing, or modifying the code in transit.
Common Consequences (1)
Integrity, Availability, Confidentiality, Other Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands, Alter Execution Logic, Other
Executing untrusted code could compromise the control flow of the program. The untrusted code could execute attacker-controlled commands, read or modify sensitive resources, or prevent the software from functioning correctly for legitimate users.
Mitigations (5)
Implementation Perform proper forward and reverse DNS lookups to detect DNS spoofing.
Architecture and Design, Operation Encrypt the code with a reliable encryption scheme before transmitting. This will only be a partial solution, since it will not detect DNS spoofing and it will not prevent your code from being modified on the hosting site.
Architecture and Design Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid [REF-1482]. Speficially, it may be helpful to use tools or frameworks to perform integrity checking on the transmitted code. When providing the code that is to be downloaded, such as for automatic updates of the software, then use cryptographic signatures for …
Architecture and Design, Operation Run your code using the lowest privileges that are required to accomplish the necessary tasks [REF-76]. If possible, create isolated accounts with limited privileges that are only used for a single task. That way, a successful attack will not immediately give the attacker access to the rest of the software or its environment. For example, database applications rarely need to run as the database ad…
Architecture and Design, Operation Run the code in a "jail" or similar sandbox environment that enforces strict boundaries between the process and the operating system. This may effectively restrict which files can be accessed in a particular directory or which commands can be executed by the software. OS-level examples include the Unix chroot jail, AppArmor, and SELinux. In general, managed code may provide some protection. For ex…

Examples (2)
This example loads an external class from a local subdirectory.
URL[] classURLs= new URL[]{ new URL("file:subdir/") }; URLClassLoader loader = new URLClassLoader(classURLs); Class loadedClass = Class.forName("loadMe", true, loader);
Bad · Java
This code includes an external script to get database credentials, then authenticates a user against the database, allowing access to the application.
//assume the password is already encrypted, avoiding CWE-312 function authenticate($username,$password){ include("http://external.example.com/dbInfo.php"); //dbInfo.php makes $dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbname available mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ('Error connecting to mysql'); mysql_select_db($dbname); $query = 'Select * from users where username='.$username.' And password='.$password; $result = mysql_query($query); if(mysql_numrows($result) == 1){ mysql_close(); return true; } else{ mysql_close(); return false; } }
