CWE-347 Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature

The product does not verify, or incorrectly verifies, the cryptographic signature for data.

• Access Control, Integrity, Confidentiality: Gain Privileges or Assume Identity, Modify Application Data, Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands — An attacker could gain access to sensitive data and possibly execute unauthorized code.

• Automated Static Analysis: Automated static analysis, commonly referred to as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), can find some instances of this weakness by analyzing source code (or binary/compiled code) without having to execute it. Typically, this is done by building a model of data flow and control flow, then searching for potentially-vulnerable patterns that connect "sources" (origins of input) with "sinks" (destinations where the data interacts with external components, a lower layer such as the OS, etc.)

• CVE-2002-1796: Does not properly verify signatures for "trusted" entities. • CVE-2005-2181: Insufficient verification allows spoofing. • CVE-2005-2182: Insufficient verification allows spoofing. • CVE-2002-1706: Accepts a configuration file without a Message Integrity Check (MIC) signature.
