Ensuring Trust Through Correct Authorisation: A Comprehensive Examination of CWE-863

by

CWE-863: Incorrect Authorisation occurs when an application fails to enforce correct authorisation measures, allowing unauthorised users or processes to access resources, perform operations, or retrieve data that should be off-limits. It is sometimes conflated with authentication flaws, but the essence of CWE-863 lies in improper or missing checks that would otherwise confirm if a user has the necessary permissions to perform a specific action.
From a technical standpoint, one might imagine an application employing robust identity verification (authentication) only to overlook critical checks about what a user is allowed to do once logged in (authorisation). This oversight can be the gateway to data leaks, privilege escalation, or even sabotage of core business processes.

The OWASP Top 10 (2021): Cryptographic Failures

by

Cryptographic failures occur when sensitive data is not adequately protected during storage, transit, or processing. These failures can arise from the use of outdated encryption algorithms, insecure storage of cryptographic keys, or improper implementation of encryption protocols. The vulnerabilities often stem from either a lack of awareness or neglect of best practices, leaving data exposed to unauthorised access. In the digital age, protecting sensitive data is not optional—it is a business imperative. Cryptographic failures are not merely technical flaws; they carry significant financial, legal, and reputational risks. By adhering to best practices, leveraging modern tools, and staying informed about evolving threats, software developers can safeguard data against adversaries and ensure compliance with stringent regulatory standards.
