Possible Authentication Bypass
- OWASP 2021-A7
Authentication bypass is a security vulnerability that allows attackers to gain unauthorized access to a system by circumventing the authentication process without providing valid credentials.
The most common types of impact when attackers use authentication bypass to compromise user access control and steal data:
- Data theft from unauthorized parties
- Risk of data loss when attackers steal or destroy information stored on a device or server
- Data corruption that allows unauthorized users to change information stored in the system
SQL injection attack has resulted in a bypass of the login page.
Remediation
- Do not create SQL queries with string concatenation. Instead use prepared statements or stored procedures.
