Cryptographic APIs misuses #23

Open misterAnderson90 opened 2 years ago

misterAnderson90 commented 2 years ago

I'm a PhD student interested in finding security vulnerabilities in open source projects.

We found a total of 32 warnings (indicating potential vulnerabilities) when running the CogniCrypt static analyzer (*) on CIFS Documents Provider (or its library dependencies). We documented each one of these issues in private gists for the sake of confidentiality (non-disclosure).

Can you please let us know whether we can share these gists with you? We are eager to evaluate the perception of developers (e.g. severity of these warnings) and improve CIFS Documents Provider's security, and the quality of the reports of static analysis tools.

@misterAnderson90

Thank you for your support.

Can you please let us know whether we can share these gists with you?

Hello @wa2c,

From the 32 warnings that CogniCrypt reported, we randomly selected 5 gists to share with you. If you are interested, we can share the report with all warnings.

Gist 01 - Cipher Gist 02 - SecretKeySpec Gist 03 - MessageDigest Gist 04 - Cipher Gist 05 - Cipher

For any doubts, you can comment directly in the gists and we can clarify the issues.

Best regards,
