Vulnerability Data

An issue was discovered on HMS Anybus X-Gateway AB7832-F 3 devices. The gateway exposes a web interface on port 80. An unauthenticated GET request to a specific URL triggers the reboot of the Anybus gateway (or at least most of…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SC-8 Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity partial match

Requiring confidentiality and integrity protection for transmitted data reduces exposure of sensitive query parameters even though the control does not forbid placing secrets in URLs.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.DS-02 partial match
blocks

HTTPS encryption protects query strings in transit but does not address the root design flaw of placing sensitive data in URLs.

PR.PS-06 partial match
blocks

Secure SDLC practices directly prevent embedding sensitive data in query strings as part of input-handling and data-flow design.

A.8.20 Networks security partial match
degrades

Network security controls can enforce HTTPS and block sensitive data in URLs.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
blocks

A.8.26 only requires that security requirements (including those that could address query-string exposure) be identified and specified during development; it does not itself enforce, implement or stop exploitation of sensitive data in the query string

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
blocks

Secure architecture principles discourage exposing sensitive data in URLs.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards directly prohibit placing secrets in query parameters.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance partial match
finds

Security testing can detect sensitive data leakage via query strings.

A.8.8 Management of technical vulnerabilities partial match
removes
