CWE-650
AllowedTrusting HTTP Permission Methods on the Server Side
Abstraction: Variant · Status: Incomplete
The server contains a protection mechanism that assumes that any URI that is accessed using HTTP GET will not cause a state change to the associated resource. This might allow attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and conduct resource modification and deletion attacks, since some applications allow GET to modify state.
22 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.
