CWE-455 Non-exit on Failed Initialization

The product does not exit or otherwise modify its operation when security-relevant errors occur during initialization, such as when a configuration file has a format error or a hardware security module (HSM) cannot be activated, which can cause the product to execute in a less secure fashion than intended by the administrator.

• Integrity, Other: Modify Application Data, Alter Execution Logic — The application could be placed in an insecure state that may allow an attacker to modify sensitive data or allow unintended logic to be executed.

• [Implementation] Follow the principle of failing securely when an error occurs. The system should enter a state where it is not vulnerable and will not display sensitive error messages to a potential attacker.

• CVE-2005-1345: Product does not trigger a fatal error if missing or invalid ACLs are in a configuration file.
