Weakness Allowed

Passing Mutable Objects to an Untrusted Method

Abstraction: Base · Status: Draft

API response cwe.mitre.org

The product sends non-cloned mutable data as an argument to a method or function.

Mapping guidance

This CWE entry is at the Base level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.

Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.

Mitigation
Implementation

Pass in data which should not be altered as constant or immutable.

Mitigation
Implementation

Clone all mutable data before passing it into an external function . This is the preferred mitigation. This way, regardless of what changes are made to the data, a valid copy is retained for use by the class.
