Security rules

Security rules support safer libraries and applications. These rules help prevent security flaws in your program. If you disable any of these rules, you should clearly mark the reason in code and also inform the designated security officer for your development project.

In this section

Rule Description
CA2100: Review SQL queries for security vulnerabilities A method sets the System.Data.IDbCommand.CommandText property by using a string that is built from a string argument to the method. This rule assumes that the string argument contains user input. A SQL command string built from user input is vulnerable to SQL injection attacks.
CA2109: Review visible event handlers A public or protected event-handling method was detected. Event-handling methods should not be exposed unless absolutely necessary.
CA2119: Seal methods that satisfy private interfaces An inheritable public type provides an overridable method implementation of an internal (Friend in Visual Basic) interface. To fix a violation of this rule, prevent the method from being overridden outside the assembly.
CA2153: Avoid Handling Corrupted State Exceptions Corrupted State Exceptions (CSE) indicate that memory corruption exists in your process. Catching these rather than allowing the process to crash can lead to security vulnerabilities if an attacker can place an exploit into the corrupted memory region.
CA2300: Do not use insecure deserializer BinaryFormatter Insecure deserializers are vulnerable when deserializing untrusted data. An attacker could modify the serialized data to include unexpected types to inject objects with malicious side effects.

CA2330: Ensure that JsonSerializer has a secure configuration when deserializing Insecure deserializers are vulnerable when deserializing untrusted data. An attacker could modify the serialized data to include unexpected types to inject objects with malicious side effects.
CA2350: Ensure DataTable.ReadXml()'s input is trusted When deserializing a DataTable with untrusted input, an attacker can craft malicious input to perform a denial of service attack. There may be unknown remote code execution vulnerabilities.
CA2351: Ensure DataSet.ReadXml()'s input is trusted When deserializing a DataSet with untrusted input, an attacker can craft malicious input to perform a denial of service attack. There may be unknown remote code execution vulnerabilities.
CA2352: Unsafe DataSet or DataTable in serializable type can be vulnerable to remote code execution attacks A class or struct marked with SerializableAttribute contains a DataSet or DataTable field or property, and doesn't have a GeneratedCodeAttribute.
CA2353: Unsafe DataSet or DataTable in serializable type A class or struct marked with an XML serialization attribute or a data contract attribute contains a DataSet or DataTable field or property.
CA2354: Unsafe DataSet or DataTable in deserialized object graph can be vulnerable to remote code execution attack Deserializing with an System.Runtime.Serialization.IFormatter serialized, and the casted type's object graph can include a DataSet or DataTable.
CA2355: Unsafe DataSet or DataTable in deserialized object graph Deserializing when the casted or specified type's object graph can include a DataSet or DataTable.
CA2356: Unsafe DataSet or DataTable in web deserialized object graph A method with a System.Web.Services.WebMethodAttribute or System.ServiceModel.OperationContractAttribute has a parameter that may reference a DataSet or DataTable.
CA2361: Ensure autogenerated class containing DataSet.ReadXml() is not used with untrusted data When deserializing a DataSet with untrusted input, an attacker can craft malicious input to perform a denial of service attack. There may be unknown remote code execution vulnerabilities.
CA2362: Unsafe DataSet or DataTable in autogenerated serializable type can be vulnerable to remote code execution attacks When deserializing untrusted input with BinaryFormatter and the deserialized object graph contains a DataSet or DataTable, an attacker can craft a malicious payload to perform a remote code execution attack.
CA3001: Review code for SQL injection vulnerabilities When working with untrusted input and SQL commands, be mindful of SQL injection attacks. An SQL injection attack can execute malicious SQL commands, compromising the security and integrity of your application.
CA3002: Review code for XSS vulnerabilities When working with untrusted input from web requests, be mindful of cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. An XSS attack injects untrusted input into raw HTML output, allowing the attacker to execute malicious scripts or maliciously modify content in your web page.
CA3003: Review code for file path injection vulnerabilities When working with untrusted input from web requests, be mindful of using user-controlled input when specifying paths to files.
CA3004: Review code for information disclosure vulnerabilities Disclosing exception information gives attackers insight into the internals of your application, which can help attackers find other vulnerabilities to exploit.
CA3006: Review code for process command injection vulnerabilities When working with untrusted input, be mindful of command injection attacks. A command injection attack can execute malicious commands on the underlying operating system, compromising the security and integrity of your server.
CA3007: Review code for open redirect vulnerabilities When working with untrusted input, be mindful of open redirect vulnerabilities. An attacker can exploit an open redirect vulnerability to use your website to give the appearance of a legitimate URL, but redirect an unsuspecting visitor to a phishing or other malicious webpage.
CA3008: Review code for XPath injection vulnerabilities When working with untrusted input, be mindful of XPath injection attacks. Constructing XPath queries using untrusted input may allow an attacker to maliciously manipulate the query to return an unintended result, and possibly disclose the contents of the queried XML.
CA3009: Review code for XML injection vulnerabilities When working with untrusted input, be mindful of XML injection attacks.
CA3010: Review code for XAML injection vulnerabilities When working with untrusted input, be mindful of XAML injection attacks. XAML is a markup language that directly represents object instantiation and execution. That means elements created in XAML can interact with system resources (for example, network access and file system IO).
CA3011: Review code for DLL injection vulnerabilities When working with untrusted input, be mindful of loading untrusted code. If your web application loads untrusted code, an attacker may be able to inject malicious DLLs into your process and execute malicious code.
CA3012: Review code for regex injection vulnerabilities When working with untrusted input, be mindful of regex injection attacks. An attacker can use regex injection to maliciously modify a regular expression, to make the regex match unintended results, or to make the regex consume excessive CPU resulting in a Denial of Service attack.
CA3061: Do not add schema by URL Do not use the unsafe overload of the Add method because it may cause dangerous external references.
CA3075: Insecure DTD Processing If you use insecure DTDProcessing instances or reference external entity sources, the parser may accept untrusted input and disclose sensitive information to attackers.
CA3076: Insecure XSLT Script Execution If you execute Extensible StyleSheet Language Transformations (XSLT) in .NET applications insecurely, the processor may resolve untrusted URI references that could disclose sensitive information to attackers, leading to Denial of Service and Cross-Site attacks.
CA3077: Insecure Processing in API Design, XML Document and XML Text Reader When designing an API derived from XMLDocument and XMLTextReader, be mindful of DtdProcessing. Using insecure DTDProcessing instances when referencing or resolving external entity sources or setting insecure values in the XML may lead to information disclosure.
CA3147: Mark verb handlers with ValidateAntiForgeryToken When designing an ASP.NET MVC controller, be mindful of cross-site request forgery attacks. A cross-site request forgery attack can send malicious requests from an authenticated user to your ASP.NET MVC controller.
CA5350: Do Not Use Weak Cryptographic Algorithms Weak encryption algorithms and hashing functions are used today for a number of reasons, but they should not be used to guarantee the confidentiality or integrity of the data they protect. This rule triggers when it finds TripleDES, SHA1, or RIPEMD160 algorithms in the code.
CA5351: Do Not Use Broken Cryptographic Algorithms Broken cryptographic algorithms are not considered secure and their use should be strongly discouraged. This rule triggers when it finds the MD5 hash algorithm or either the DES or RC2 encryption algorithms in code.
CA5358: Do Not Use Unsafe Cipher Modes Do Not Use Unsafe Cipher Modes
CA5359: Do not disable certificate validation A certificate can help authenticate the identity of the server. Clients should validate the server certificate to ensure requests are sent to the intended server. If the ServerCertificateValidationCallback always returns true, any certificate will pass validation.
CA5360: Do not call dangerous methods in deserialization Insecure deserialization is a vulnerability that occurs when untrusted data is used to abuse the logic of an application, inflict a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack, or even execute arbitrary code upon it being deserialized. It's frequently possible for malicious users to abuse these deserialization features when the application is deserializing untrusted data that is under their control. Specifically, invoke dangerous methods in the process of deserialization. Successful insecure deserialization attacks could allow an attacker to carry out attacks such as DoS attacks, authentication bypasses, and remote code execution.
CA5361: Do not disable SChannel use of strong crypto Setting Switch.System.Net.DontEnableSchUseStrongCrypto to true weakens the cryptography used in outgoing Transport Layer Security (TLS) connections. Weaker cryptography can compromise the confidentiality of communication between your application and the server, making it easier for attackers to eavesdrop sensitive data.
CA5362: Potential reference cycle in deserialized object graph If deserializing untrusted data, then any code processing the deserialized object graph needs to handle reference cycles without going into infinite loops. This includes both code that's part of a deserialization callback and code that processes the object graph after deserialization completed. Otherwise, an attacker could perform a Denial-of-Service attack with malicious data containing a reference cycle.
CA5363: Do not disable request validation Request validation is a feature in ASP.NET that examines HTTP requests and determines whether they contain potentially dangerous content that can lead to injection attacks, including cross-site-scripting.
CA5364: Do not use deprecated security protocols Transport Layer Security (TLS) secures communication between computers, most commonly with Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). Older protocol versions of TLS are less secure than TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 and are more likely to have new vulnerabilities. Avoid older protocol versions to minimize risk.
CA5365: Do Not Disable HTTP Header Checking HTTP header checking enables encoding of the carriage return and newline characters, \r and \n, that are found in response headers. This encoding can help to avoid injection attacks that exploit an application that echoes untrusted data contained by the header.
CA5366: Use XmlReader For DataSet Read XML Using a DataSet to read XML with untrusted data may load dangerous external references, which should be restricted by using an XmlReader with a secure resolver or with DTD processing disabled.
CA5367: Do Not Serialize Types With Pointer Fields This rule checks whether there's a serializable class with a pointer field or property. Members that can't be serialized can be a pointer, such as static members or fields marked with NonSerializedAttribute.
CA5368: Set ViewStateUserKey For Classes Derived From Page Setting the ViewStateUserKey property can help you prevent attacks on your application by allowing you to assign an identifier to the view-state variable for individual users so that attackers cannot use the variable to generate an attack. Otherwise, there will be vulnerabilities to cross-site request forgery.
CA5369: Use XmlReader for Deserialize Processing untrusted DTD and XML schemas may enable loading dangerous external references, which should be restricted by using an XmlReader with a secure resolver or with DTD and XML inline schema processing disabled.
CA5370: Use XmlReader for validating reader Processing untrusted DTD and XML schemas may enable loading dangerous external references. This dangerous loading can be restricted by using an XmlReader with a secure resolver or with DTD and XML inline schema processing disabled.
CA5371: Use XmlReader for schema read Processing untrusted DTD and XML schemas may enable loading dangerous external references. Using an XmlReader with a secure resolver or with DTD and XML inline schema processing disabled restricts this.
CA5372: Use XmlReader for XPathDocument Processing XML from untrusted data may load dangerous external references, which can be restricted by using an XmlReader with a secure resolver or with DTD processing disabled.
CA5373: Do not use obsolete key derivation function This rule detects the invocation of weak key derivation methods System.Security.Cryptography.PasswordDeriveBytes and Rfc2898DeriveBytes.CryptDeriveKey. System.Security.Cryptography.PasswordDeriveBytes used a weak algorithm PBKDF1.
CA5374: Do Not Use XslTransform This rule checks if System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransform is instantiated in the code. System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransform is now obsolete and shouldn't be used.
CA5375: Do not use account shared access signature An account SAS can delegate access to read, write, and delete operations on blob containers, tables, queues, and file shares that are not permitted with a service SAS. However, it doesn't support container-level policies and has less flexibility and control over the permissions that are granted. Once malicious users get it, your storage account will be compromised easily.
CA5376: Use SharedAccessProtocol HttpsOnly SAS is sensitive data that can't be transported in plain text on HTTP.
CA5377: Use container level access policy A container-level access policy can be modified or revoked at any time. It provides greater flexibility and control over the permissions that are granted.
CA5378: Do not disable ServicePointManagerSecurityProtocols Setting DisableUsingServicePointManagerSecurityProtocols to true limits Windows Communication Framework's (WCF) Transport Layer Security (TLS) connections to using TLS 1.0. That version of TLS will be deprecated.
CA5379: Ensure key derivation function algorithm is sufficiently strong The Rfc2898DeriveBytes class defaults to using the SHA1 algorithm. You should specify the hash algorithm to use in some overloads of the constructor with SHA256 or higher. Note, HashAlgorithm property only has a get accessor and doesn't have a overridden modifier.
CA5380: Do not add certificates to root store This rule detects code that adds a certificate into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities certificate store. By default, the Trusted Root Certification Authorities certificate store is configured with a set of public CAs that has met the requirements of the Microsoft Root Certificate Program.
CA5381: Ensure certificates are not added to root store This rule detects code that potentially adds a certificate into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities certificate store. By default, the Trusted Root Certification Authorities certificate store is configured with a set of public certification authorities (CAs) that has met the requirements of the Microsoft Root Certificate Program.
CA5382: Use secure cookies in ASP.NET Core Applications available over HTTPS must use secure cookies, which indicate to the browser that the cookie should only be transmitted using Transport Layer Security (TLS).
CA5383: Ensure use secure cookies in ASP.NET Core Applications available over HTTPS must use secure cookies, which indicate to the browser that the cookie should only be transmitted using Transport Layer Security (TLS).
CA5384: Do not use digital signature algorithm (DSA) DSA is a weak asymmetric encryption algorithm.
CA5385: Use Rivest–Shamir–Adleman (RSA) algorithm with sufficient key size An RSA key smaller than 2048 bits is more vulnerable to brute force attacks.
CA5386: Avoid hardcoding SecurityProtocolType value Transport Layer Security (TLS) secures communication between computers, most commonly with Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). Protocol versions TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 are deprecated, while TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 are current. In the future, TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 may be deprecated. To ensure that your application remains secure, avoid hardcoding a protocol version and target at least .NET Framework v4.7.1.
CA5387: Do not use weak key derivation function with insufficient iteration count This rule checks if a cryptographic key was generated by Rfc2898DeriveBytes with an iteration count of less than 100,000. A higher iteration count can help mitigate against dictionary attacks that try to guess the generated cryptographic key.
CA5388: Ensure sufficient iteration count when using weak key derivation function This rule checks if a cryptographic key was generated by Rfc2898DeriveBytes with an iteration count that may be less than 100,000. A higher iteration count can help mitigate against dictionary attacks that try to guess the generated cryptographic key.
CA5389: Do not add archive item's path to the target file system path File path can be relative and can lead to file system access outside of the expected file system target path, leading to malicious config changes and remote code execution via lay-and-wait technique.
CA5390: Do not hard-code encryption key For a symmetric algorithm to be successful, the secret key must be known only to the sender and the receiver. When a key is hard-coded, it is easily discovered. Even with compiled binaries, it is easy for malicious users to extract it. Once the private key is compromised, the cipher text can be decrypted directly and is not protected anymore.
CA5391: Use antiforgery tokens in ASP.NET Core MVC controllers Handling a POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE request without validating an antiforgery token may be vulnerable to cross-site request forgery attacks. A cross-site request forgery attack can send malicious requests from an authenticated user to your ASP.NET Core MVC controller.
CA5392: Use DefaultDllImportSearchPaths attribute for P/Invokes By default, P/Invoke functions using DllImportAttribute probe a number of directories, including the current working directory for the library to load. This can be a security issue for certain applications, leading to DLL hijacking.
CA5393: Do not use unsafe DllImportSearchPath value There could be a malicious DLL in the default DLL search directories and assembly directories. Or, depending on where your application is run from, there could be a malicious DLL in the application's directory.
CA5394: Do not use insecure randomness Using a cryptographically weak pseudo-random number generator may allow an attacker to predict what security-sensitive value will be generated.
CA5395: Miss HttpVerb attribute for action methods All the action methods that create, edit, delete, or otherwise modify data needs to be protected with the antiforgery attribute from cross-site request forgery attacks. Performing a GET operation should be a safe operation that has no side effects and doesn't modify your persisted data.
CA5396: Set HttpOnly to true for HttpCookie As a defense in depth measure, ensure security sensitive HTTP cookies are marked as HttpOnly. This indicates web browsers should disallow scripts from accessing the cookies. Injected malicious scripts are a common way of stealing cookies.
CA5397: Do not use deprecated SslProtocols values Transport Layer Security (TLS) secures communication between computers, most commonly with Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). Older protocol versions of TLS are less secure than TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 and are more likely to have new vulnerabilities. Avoid older protocol versions to minimize risk.
CA5398: Avoid hardcoded SslProtocols values Transport Layer Security (TLS) secures communication between computers, most commonly with Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). Protocol versions TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 are deprecated, while TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 are current. In the future, TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 may be deprecated. To ensure that your application remains secure, avoid hardcoding a protocol version.
CA5399: Definitely disable HttpClient certificate revocation list check A revoked certificate isn't trusted anymore. It could be used by attackers passing some malicious data or stealing sensitive data in HTTPS communication.
CA5400: Ensure HttpClient certificate revocation list check is not disabled A revoked certificate isn't trusted anymore. It could be used by attackers passing some malicious data or stealing sensitive data in HTTPS communication.
CA5401: Do not use CreateEncryptor with non-default IV Symmetric encryption should always use a non-repeatable initialization vector to prevent dictionary attacks.
CA5402: Use CreateEncryptor with the default IV Symmetric encryption should always use a non-repeatable initialization vector to prevent dictionary attacks.
CA5403: Do not hard-code certificate The data or rawData parameter of a X509Certificate or X509Certificate2 constructor is hard-coded.
CA5404: Do not disable token validation checks TokenValidationParameters properties that control token validation should not be set to false.
CA5405: Do not always skip token validation in delegates The callback assigned to AudienceValidator or LifetimeValidator always returns true.
