Improper authentication occurs when an application improperly verifies the identity of a user. A software incorrectly validates user's login information and as a result, an attacker can gain certain privileges within the application or disclose sensitive information that allows them to access sensitive data and provoke arbitrary code execution. The weakness is introduced during Architecture and Design, Implementation stages. CAPEC-115 [ Authentication Bypass ] ************************************* An attacker gains access to application, service, or device with the privileges of an authorized or privileged user by evading or circumventing an authentication mechanism. The attacker is therefore able to access protected data without authentication ever having taken place. This refers to an attacker gaining access equivalent to an authenticated user without ever going ..
