Unchecked Input for Loop Condition #447
Description
Risk Rating: Medium
Category Security: Misconfiguration
Description: The application performs some repetitive task in a loop, and defines the number of times to perform the loop according to user input. A very high value could cause the application to get stuck in the loop and to be unable to continue to other operations.
Impact: An attacker could input a very high value, potentially causing a denial of service (DoS).
Remediation:
Recommendation · Ideally, don’t base a loop on user-provided data. If it is necessary to do so, the user input must be first validated and its range should be limited.
