Vulnerability discussion

Any application providing too much information in error logs and in administrative messages to the screen risks compromising the data and security of the application and system. The structure and content of error messages needs to be carefully considered by the organization and development team.The option to allow line debugging is enabled when a developer wants to trace code through a debugger such as Eclipse. Debugging must not be performed on a production server, and this option must be disabled.

Check content

Within the Administrator Console, navigate to the "Debugger Settings" page under the "Debugging & Output Settings" menu. If "Allow Line Debugging" is checked, this is a finding.

Fix text

Navigate to the "Debugger Settings" page under the "Debugging & Output Settings" menu. Uncheck "Allow Line Debugging" and select the "Submit Changes" button.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
