Mitigation
Phases: Architecture and Design, Implementation
Description:
- Consider seriously the sensitivity of the information written into log files. Do not write secrets into the log files.
Mitigation
Phase: Distribution
Description:
- Remove debug log files before deploying the application into production.
Mitigation
Phase: Operation
Description:
- Protect log files against unauthorized read/write.
Mitigation
Phase: Implementation
Description:
- Adjust configurations appropriately when software is transitioned from a debug state to production.
CAPEC-215: Fuzzing for application mapping
An attacker sends random, malformed, or otherwise unexpected messages to a target application and observes the application's log or error messages returned. The attacker does not initially know how a target will respond to individual messages but by attempting a large number of message variants they may find a variant that trigger's desired behavior. In this attack, the purpose of the fuzzing is to observe the application's log and error messages, although fuzzing a target can also sometimes cause the target to enter an unstable state, causing a crash.
