CWE-105: Struts: Form Field Without Validator
Weakness ID : 105
Structure : Simple
Abstraction : Variant
Description
The product has a form field that is not validated by a corresponding validation form, which can
introduce other weaknesses related to insufficient input validation.
Extended Description
Omitting validation for even a single input field may give attackers the leeway they need to
compromise the product. Although J2EE applications are not generally susceptible to memory
corruption attacks, if a J2EE application interfaces with native code that does not perform
array bounds checking, an attacker may be able to use an input validation mistake in the J2EE
application to launch a buffer overflow attack.
