To protect against data mining, the CA API Gateway providing content filtering must prevent code injection attacks launched against application objects including, at a minimum, application URLs and application code.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Data mining is the analysis of large quantities of data to discover patterns and is used in intelligence gathering. Failure to prevent attacks launched against organizational information from unauthorized data mining may result in the compromise of information. Injection attacks allow an attacker to inject code into a program or query or inject malware onto a computer to execute remote commands that can read or modify a database or change data on a website. These attacks include buffer overrun, XML, JavaScript, and HTML injections. Compliance requires the CA API Gateway to have the capability to prevent code injections. Examples include Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) or database application gateways. The CA API Gateway must include threat protection mechanisms such as "Protect Against SQL Attack" and/or "Protect Against Code Injection" Assertions configured in accordance with organizational requirements and used in a Registered Service's policy requiring protection to help prevent code injection attacks launched against data storage objects.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
