CWE-710 Pilar Incompleto

Improper Adherence to Coding Standards

This weakness occurs when developers don't consistently follow established coding standards and best practices, which can introduce security flaws or make existing vulnerabilities more severe.

Definição

What is CWE-710?

This weakness occurs when developers don't consistently follow established coding standards and best practices, which can introduce security flaws or make existing vulnerabilities more severe.
Coding standards exist for more than just consistency—they're a frontline defense against security issues. When teams skip code reviews, ignore style guides, or inconsistently apply error handling and input validation patterns, they create a codebase where bugs can hide more easily and security checks become unreliable. This inconsistency directly weakens the application's security posture. Think of coding standards as a shared security checklist embedded in your development process. Adhering to them makes code more predictable, readable, and maintainable, which allows security vulnerabilities to be spotted faster during reviews and testing. While not every coding standard violation leads directly to an exploit, systematic disregard creates a fragile foundation where real security flaws are more likely to be introduced and harder to find.

Como os atacantes a exploram

Trajeto do atacante passo a passo

  1. 1

    Identificar um caminho de código que trata input não confiável sem validação.

  2. 2

    Criar um payload que explora o comportamento inseguro — injeção, traversal, overflow ou abuso de lógica.

  3. 3

    Entregar o payload através de um pedido normal e observar a reação da aplicação.

  4. 4

    Iterar até que a resposta exponha dados, execute código do atacante ou escale privilégios.

Exemplo de código vulnerável

Vulnerable pseudo

A MITRE não publicou um exemplo de código para este CWE. O padrão abaixo é ilustrativo — consulte os Recursos para referências canónicas.

Vulnerável pseudo
// Example pattern — see MITRE for the canonical references.
function handleRequest(input) {
  // Untrusted input flows directly into the sensitive sink.
  return executeUnsafe(input);
}
Exemplo de código seguro

Secure pseudo

Seguro pseudo
// Validate, sanitize, or use a safe API before reaching the sink.
function handleRequest(input) {
  const safe = validateAndEscape(input);
  return executeWithGuards(safe);
}
What changed: the unsafe sink is replaced (or the input is validated/escaped) so the same payload no longer triggers the weakness.
Lista de verificação de prevenção

How to prevent CWE-710

  • Implementation Document and closely follow coding standards.
  • Testing / Implementation Where possible, use automated tools to enforce the standards.
Sinais de deteção

How to detect CWE-710

SAST High

Executar análise estática (SAST) na base de código à procura do padrão inseguro no fluxo de dados.

DAST Moderate

Executar testes dinâmicos de segurança de aplicações (DAST) contra o endpoint em execução.

Runtime Moderate

Monitorizar os registos em tempo de execução para traços de exceção invulgares, input malformado ou tentativas de contornar a autorização.

Code review Moderate

Revisão de código: sinalizar qualquer novo código que trate input desta superfície sem usar os ajudantes validados do framework.
