CWE-602

Client-Side Enforcement of Server-Side Security

ClassDraftLikelihood: Medium

Description

The product is composed of a server that relies on the client to implement a mechanism that is intended to protect the server.

When the server relies on protection mechanisms placed on the client side, an attacker can modify the client-side behavior to bypass the protection mechanisms, resulting in potentially unexpected interactions between the client and server. The consequences will vary, depending on what the mechanisms are trying to protect.
