CWE-637 (保护机制不必要的复杂性(未使用经济性的机制)) — Vulnerability Class 1

1 vulnerabilities classified as CWE-637 (保护机制不必要的复杂性(未使用经济性的机制)). AI Chinese analysis included.

MITRE CWE Description
The product uses a more complex mechanism than necessary, which could lead to resultant weaknesses when the mechanism is not correctly understood, modeled, configured, implemented, or used. Security mechanisms should be as simple as possible. Complex security mechanisms may engender partial implementations and compatibility problems, with resulting mismatches in assumptions and implemented security. A corollary of this principle is that data specifications should be as simple as possible, because complex data specifications result in complex validation code. Complex tasks and systems may also need to be guarded by complex security checks, so simple systems should be preferred.
Common Consequences (1)
OtherOther
Mitigations (1)
Architecture and DesignAvoid complex security mechanisms when simpler ones would meet requirements. Avoid complex data models, and unnecessarily complex operations. Adopt architectures that provide guarantees, simplify understanding through elegance and abstraction, and that can be implemented similarly. Modularize, isolate and do not trust complex code, and apply other secure programming principles on these modules (e.…
Examples (2)
The IPSEC specification is complex, which resulted in bugs, partial implementations, and incompatibilities between vendors.
HTTP Request Smuggling (CWE-444) attacks are feasible because there are not stringent requirements for how illegal or inconsistent HTTP headers should be handled. This can lead to inconsistent implementations in which a proxy or firewall interprets the same data stream as a different set of requests than the end points in that stream.
