Sensitive Information Disclosure
DescriptionSensitive Information Disclosure (also known as Sensitive Data Exposure) happens when an application does not adequately protect sensitive information that may wind up being disclosed to parties that are not supposed to have access to it. Sensitive data can include application-related information, such as session tokens, file names, stack traces, or confidential information, such as passwords, credit card data, sensitive health data, private communications, intellectual property, metadata, the product's source code, etc. Whichever security flaw is causing the information to be disclosed, all aspects of all kinds of services are potentially at risk. Sensitive Information Disclosure can arise in databases, operating systems, and network devices. It is particularly occurrent in web applications, as highlighted in OWASP's Top 10, which lists Sensitive Information Disclosure as part of the Insecure Design web application security risk of which to be aware. Necessary privacy and security protection legislation and regulations are created and reworked to try to ensure that organizations holding sensitive data meet their obligations to safeguard such data. The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is one such law; the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is an example of regulation. Read moreImpactThe scale of impact from a Sensitive Information Disclosure event is limited only by the type of sensitive information disclosed and a malicious actor's ability to leverage it. For example, the fallout could be as minor as a local pathname being disclosed in a stack trace, allowing a malicious actor to improve their knowledge of the target's implementation details, right through to a full-blown data leak involving millions of customers' confidential data. ScenariosOne typical example is to permit an end user to receive the default error pages of the application server. This can expose the location on the file system of the file that caused the issue along with the precise version of the server itself, and the third-party components. Attackers can use this knowledge in a variety of ways, for example, to target well-known exploits in one particular version of a component. A more severe scenario involves a web page rendering an error message from a SQL server for a failed query. If some parameter is in control of the attacker, a malicious actor could exploit this exposure to exfiltrate arbitrary data from the database by sending specially crafted queries. There are countless technologies sat under the IT umbrella susceptible to this comprehensive vulnerability class; basically, anything not properly tied down containing even minimal information may become the prey of a determined malicious actor. PreventionSensitive Information Disclosure is a symptom of poor security-control implementation in web applications. Preventing it requires developers to adhere to numerous, necessary industry best-practices in line with current regulations to increase the difficulty for the attacker.
TestingEnsure that data's confidentiality is protected from unauthorized observation or disclosure.

Micro-Learning Topic: Information disclosure (Detected by phrase)Matched on "information leakage"Many web applications and APIs do not properly protect sensitive data, such as financial, healthcare, and PII. Attackers may steal or modify such weakly protected data to conduct credit card fraud, identity theft, or other crimes. Sensitive data may be compromised without extra protection, such as encryption at rest or in transit, and requires special precautions when exchanged with the browser.

The method downloadFile creates a temporary file but does not ensure that this file is deleted after use. This can lead to resource leakage and potentially fill up the temporary directory over time.
Recommended Solution:
Ensure that the temporary file is deleted after it is no longer needed, either by using file.deleteOnExit() or by explicitly deleting the file in a finally block.

Code Review:
-
Import Statement:
- The addition of
import java.nio.file.Files;seems appropriate if the code is using methods related to file operations from this package.
- The addition of
-
File Handling:
- It would be better to handle potential exceptions related to file creation for
Files.createTempFile. Since it can throw anIOException, consider adding athrows IOExceptionclause or handling it within the method. - Ensure proper cleanup of resources, potentially close any open streams/resources with try-with-resources or separate try-catch blocks where needed.
- It would be better to handle potential exceptions related to file creation for
-
Instantiation:
- Change
Files.createTempFile(...).toFile();to justFiles.createTempFile(...);.
- Change
-
Variable Naming:
- Variable names seem descriptive. However, consider maintaining consistency (
urlvs.fileLocation).
- Variable names seem descriptive. However, consider maintaining consistency (
-
Logging:
- Consider logging error messages and handling exceptions appropriately (if not done in other parts of the code).
-
Code Readability:
- Add comments or documentation where necessary for better code readability and maintainability.
- Ensure consistent formatting and code style adherence.
-
Testing:
- Implement tests to cover success and failure scenarios, especially around file handling and network operations.
-
Error Handling:
- Verify how exceptions like
IOExceptionare handled throughout the application to ensure reliability under various conditions.
- Verify how exceptions like
-
Resource Management:
- Perform proper resource management, especially when dealing with I/O operations (e.g., input streams), to avoid resource leaks.
-
Consolidation:
- Group related imports together for easier code readability.
Suggested Improvement:
// Better handling of exception for Files.createTempFile
public static String downloadFile(String urlString) throws IOException {
LOGGER.info("Downloading contents from url: {}", urlString);
URL url = new URL(urlString);
// Create a temporary file
Path tempFilePath;
try {
tempFilePath = Files.createTempFile("promise_pattern", null);
} catch (IOException e) {
LOGGER.error("Error creating temporary file", e);
throw e; // Handle or rethrow as necessary
}
File file = tempFilePath.toFile();
// Properly close resources with try-with-resources
try (BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(file)) {
// Read lines from URL and write to file
String line;
while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
writer.write(line);
}
}
return file.getAbsolutePath();
}Overall, the reviewed code seems functional but requires some improvements and error handling enhancements to strengthen its robustness.

User description
This change replaces the usage of
java.io.File#createTempFilewithjava.nio.file.Files#createTempFilewhich has more secure attributes.The
java.io.File#createTempFile()method creates a file that is world-readable and world-writeable, which is almost never necessary. Also, the file created is placed in a predictable directory (e.g.,/tmp). Having predictable file names, locations, and will lead to many types of vulnerabilities. History has shown that this insecure pattern can lead to information leakage, privilege escalation and even code execution.Our changes look something like this:
