CWE-145: Improper Neutralization of Section Delimiters
Weakness ID : 145
Structure : Simple
Abstraction : Variant
Description
The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly
neutralizes special elements that could be interpreted as section delimiters when they are sent to a
downstream component.
Extended Description
As data is parsed, an injected/absent/malformed delimiter may cause the process to take
unexpected actions.
One example of a section delimiter is the boundary string in a multipart MIME message. In many
cases, doubled line delimiters can serve as a section delimiter.
