CA5376: Use SharedAccessProtocol HttpsOnly
Property | Value |
---|---|
Rule ID | CA5376 |
Title | Use SharedAccessProtocol HttpsOnly |
Category | Security |
Fix is breaking or non-breaking | Non-breaking |
Enabled by default in .NET 8 | No |
Cause
Using the GetSharedAccessSignature
method under the Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage
namespace to generate a Shared Access Signature (SAS) with specifying protocols
as HttpsOrHttp
.
By default, this rule analyzes the entire codebase, but this is configurable.
Rule description
SAS is a sensitive data which can't be transported in plain text on HTTP.
How to fix violations
Using HttpsOnly
when generating SAS.
When to suppress warnings
Do not suppress this rule.
Configure code to analyze
Use the following options to configure which parts of your codebase to run this rule on.
You can configure these options for just this rule, for all rules it applies to, or for all rules in this category (Security) that it applies to. For more information, see Code quality rule configuration options.
Exclude specific symbols
You can exclude specific symbols, such as types and methods, from analysis. For example, to specify that the rule should not run on any code within types named MyType
, add the following key-value pair to an .editorconfig file in your project:
dotnet_code_quality.CAXXXX.excluded_symbol_names = MyType
Allowed symbol name formats in the option value (separated by |
):
- Symbol name only (includes all symbols with the name, regardless of the containing type or namespace).
- Fully qualified names in the symbol's documentation ID format. Each symbol name requires a symbol-kind prefix, such as
M:
for methods,T:
for types, andN:
for namespaces. .ctor
for constructors and.cctor
for static constructors.
Examples:
Option Value | Summary |
---|---|
dotnet_code_quality.CAXXXX.excluded_symbol_names = MyType |
Matches all symbols named MyType . |
dotnet_code_quality.CAXXXX.excluded_symbol_names = MyType1|MyType2 |
Matches all symbols named either MyType1 or MyType2 . |
dotnet_code_quality.CAXXXX.excluded_symbol_names = M:NS.MyType.MyMethod(ParamType) |
Matches specific method MyMethod with the specified fully qualified signature. |
dotnet_code_quality.CAXXXX.excluded_symbol_names = M:NS1.MyType1.MyMethod1(ParamType)|M:NS2.MyType2.MyMethod2(ParamType) |
Matches specific methods MyMethod1 and MyMethod2 with the respective fully qualified signatures. |
Exclude specific types and their derived types
You can exclude specific types and their derived types from analysis. For example, to specify that the rule should not run on any methods within types named MyType
and their derived types, add the following key-value pair to an .editorconfig file in your project:
dotnet_code_quality.CAXXXX.excluded_type_names_with_derived_types = MyType
Allowed symbol name formats in the option value (separated by |
):
- Type name only (includes all types with the name, regardless of the containing type or namespace).
- Fully qualified names in the symbol's documentation ID format, with an optional
T:
prefix.
Examples:
Option Value | Summary |
---|---|
dotnet_code_quality.CAXXXX.excluded_type_names_with_derived_types = MyType |
Matches all types named MyType and all of their derived types. |
dotnet_code_quality.CAXXXX.excluded_type_names_with_derived_types = MyType1|MyType2 |
Matches all types named either MyType1 or MyType2 and all of their derived types. |
dotnet_code_quality.CAXXXX.excluded_type_names_with_derived_types = M:NS.MyType |
Matches specific type MyType with given fully qualified name and all of its derived types. |
dotnet_code_quality.CAXXXX.excluded_type_names_with_derived_types = M:NS1.MyType1|M:NS2.MyType2 |
Matches specific types MyType1 and MyType2 with the respective fully qualified names, and all of their derived types. |
Pseudo-code examples
Violation
At present, the following pseudo-code sample illustrates the pattern detected by this rule.
using System;
using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage;
using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.File;
class ExampleClass
{
public void ExampleMethod(SharedAccessFilePolicy policy, SharedAccessFileHeaders headers, string groupPolicyIdentifier, IPAddressOrRange ipAddressOrRange)
{
CloudFile cloudFile = new CloudFile(null);
SharedAccessProtocol protocols = SharedAccessProtocol.HttpsOrHttp;
cloudFile.GetSharedAccessSignature(policy, headers, groupPolicyIdentifier, protocols, ipAddressOrRange);
}
}
Solution
using System;
using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage;
using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.File;
class ExampleClass
{
public void ExampleMethod(SharedAccessFilePolicy policy, SharedAccessFileHeaders headers, string groupPolicyIdentifier, IPAddressOrRange ipAddressOrRange)
{
CloudFile cloudFile = new CloudFile(null);
SharedAccessProtocol protocols = SharedAccessProtocol.HttpsOnly;
cloudFile.GetSharedAccessSignature(policy, headers, groupPolicyIdentifier, protocols, ipAddressOrRange);
}
}
