High

Showing all detectors for the TypeScript language with high severity.

AWS insecure transmission CDK

The product transmits sensitive or security-critical data in cleartext in a communication channel that can be sniffed by unauthorized actors.

Insecure cookie

Insecure cookies can lead to unencrypted transmission of sensitive data.

AWS credentials logged

Logging unencrypted AWS credentials can expose them to an attacker.

SQL injection

The use of untrusted inputs in a SQL database query can enable attackers to read, modify, or delete sensitive data in the database.

Insecure connection using unencrypted protocol

Connections that use insecure protocols transmit data in cleartext, which can leak sensitive information.

Batch request with unchecked failures

Unchecked failures can lead to data loss.

Unvalidated expansion of archive files

Expanding unverified archive files without controlling the size of the expanded data can lead to zip bomb attacks.

XPath injection

Potentially unsanitized user input in XPath queries can allow an attacker to control the query in unwanted or insecure ways.

Logging of sensitive information

The logging of sensitive information can expose the information to potential attackers.

Numeric truncation error

Truncation errors occur when a primitive is cast to a primitive of a smaller size and data is lost in the conversion.

Improper restriction of rendered UI layers or frames

The application incorrectly restricts frame objects or UI layers that belong to another application or domain.

AWS missing encryption CDK

The AWS resource is missing appropriate encryption.

Header injection

Constructing HTTP response headers from user-controlled data is unsafe.

Weak obfuscation of web requests

Weak obfuscation of web requests makes your application vulnerable.

Improper certificate validation

Lack of validation of a security certificate can lead to host impersonation and sensitive data leaks.

Sendfile injection

The software allows user input to control or influence paths or file names that are used in file system operations.

Cryptographic key generator

Insufficient key sizes can lead to brute force attacks.

improper input validation cdk

Improper input validation can enable attacks and lead to unwanted behavior.

XML external entity

Objects that parse or handle XML can lead to XML external entity (XXE) attacks when they are misconfigured.

Timing attack

Insecure string comparison can lead to a timing-attack.

Use of Default Credentials CDK

The product relies on default credentials(including passwords and cryptographic keys) for potentially vital functions.

File injection

Writing unsanitized user data to a file is unsafe.

Log injection

Using untrusted inputs in a log statement can enable attackers to break the log's format, forge log entries, and bypass log monitors.

Server side request forgery

Insufficient sanitization of potentially untrusted URLs on the server side can allow server requests to unwanted destinations.

aws kmskey encryption cdk

Using an AWS KMS key helps follow the standard security advice of granting least privilege to objects generated by the project.

Inefficient polling of AWS resource

Custom polling can be inefficient and prone to error. Consider using AWS waiters instead.

Avoid Undefined As Variable Name

Checks if the undefined is used as variable.

String passed to setInterval or setTimeout

String passed to setInterval or setTimeout can cause the JavaScript engine to evaluate, which can lead to a security risk.

Tainted input for Docker API

Passing an unsanitized user argument to a function call makes your code insecure.

AWS api logging disabled cdk

Api Logging Disabled may lead to unable to access log and does not record the event.

Improper Access Control CDK

The software does not restrict or incorrectly restrict access to a resource from an unauthorized actor.

Missing Authentication for Critical Function CDK

Missing authentication checks can lead to unauthorized access to a resource or performance of an action.

AWS missing encryption of sensitive data cdk

Sensitive or critical information is not encrypted before storage or transmission in the product.

Cross-site request forgery

Insecure configuration can lead to a cross-site request forgery (CRSF) vulnerability.

Client-side KMS reencryption

Client-side decryption followed by encryption is inefficient and can lead to sensitive data leaks.

Deserialization of untrusted object

Deserialization of untrusted objects can lead to security vulnerabilities such as, inadvertently running remote code.

Clear text credentials

Credentials that are stored in clear text can be intercepted by a malicious actor.

Protection mechanism failure

Disabled or incorrectly used protection mechanism can lead to security vulnerabilities.

Sensitive information leak

Exposure of sensitive information can lead to an unauthorized actor having access to the information.

DNS prefetching

DNS prefetching can cause latency and privacy issues.

Exposure of Sensitive Information CDK

The product unintentionally grants unauthorized actors access to a resource by placing it in the wrong control sphere.

Insecure JWT parsing

Checks if the none algorithm is used in a JWT token parsing.

Loose file permissions

Weak file permissions can lead to privilege escalation.

Missing Authorization CDK

Improper Access Control.

Insufficient Logging CDK

In the case of a security-critical event, the product fails to either log the event or misses crucial details in the logged information.

OS command injection

Constructing operating system or shell commands with unsanitized user input can lead to inadvertently running malicious code.

NoSQL injection

User input can be vulnerable to injection attacks.

Unverified hostname

Unverified hostnames lead to security vulnerabilities.

Path traversal

Creating file paths from untrusted input might give a malicious actor access to sensitive files.

Origins-verified cross-origin communications

Unverified origins of messages and identities in cross-origin communications can lead to security vulnerabilities.

LDAP injection

LDAP queries that rely on potentially untrusted inputs can allow attackers to read or modify sensitive data, run code, and perform other unwanted actions.

S3 partial encrypt CDK

An unencrypted bucket could lead to sensitive data exposure.

Non-literal regular expression

Non-literal input to a regular expression might lead to a denial of service attack.

Usage of an API that is not recommended

APIs that are not recommended were found.

Disabled HTML autoescape

Disabling the HTML autoescape mechanism exposes your web applications to attacks.

Cross-site scripting

Relying on potentially untrusted user inputs when constructing web application outputs can lead to cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.

URL redirection to untrusted site

User-controlled input that specifies a link to an external site could lead to phishing attacks and allow user credentials to be stolen.
