Permissive List of Allowed Inputs

Description

The product implements a protection mechanism that relies on a list of inputs (or properties of inputs) that are explicitly allowed by policy because the inputs are assumed to be safe, but the list is too permissive - that is, it allows an input that is unsafe, leading to resultant weaknesses.

Common Consequences

Scope: Access Control

Impact: Bypass Protection Mechanism
