CA2361: Ensure autogenerated class containing DataSet.ReadXml() is not used with untrusted data

  • Artikkel
Property Value
Rule ID CA2361
Title Ensure autogenerated class containing DataSet.ReadXml() is not used with untrusted data
Category Security
Fix is breaking or non-breaking Non-breaking
Enabled by default in .NET 9 No

Cause

The DataSet.ReadXml method was called or referenced, and is within autogenerated code.

This rule classifies autogenerated code b:

CA2351 is a similar rule, for when DataSet.ReadXml appears within non-autogenerated code.

Rule description

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.

This rule is like CA2351, but for autogenerated code for an in-memory representation of data within a GUI application. Usually, these autogenerated classes aren't deserialized from untrusted input. Your application's usage may vary.

For more information, see DataSet and DataTable security guidance.

How to fix violations

  • If possible, use Entity Framework rather than the DataSet.
  • Make the serialized data tamper-proof. After serialization, cryptographically sign the serialized data. Before deserialization, validate the cryptographic signature. Protect the cryptographic key from being disclosed and design for key rotations.

When to suppress warnings

It's safe to suppress a warning from this rule if:

  • You know the input is trusted. Consider that your application's trust boundary and data flows may change over time.
  • You've taken one of the precautions in How to fix violations.

Suppress a warning

If you just want to suppress a single violation, add preprocessor directives to your source file to disable and then re-enable the rule.

#pragma warning disable CA2361
// The code that's violating the rule is on this line.
#pragma warning restore CA2361

To disable the rule for a file, folder, or project, set its severity to none in the configuration file.

[*.{cs,vb}]
dotnet_diagnostic.CA2361.severity = none
