CWE
Observable Discrepancy
mitre_cwe
CWE-203 Observable Discrepancy
CWE-203: Observable Discrepancy
The product behaves differently or sends different responses under different circumstances in a way that is observable to an unauthorized actor, which exposes security-relevant information about the state of the product, such as whether a particular operation was successful or not.
Discrepancies can take many forms, and variations may be detectable in timing, control flow, communications such as replies or requests, or general behavior. These discrepancies can reveal information about the product's operation or internal state to an unauthorized actor. In some cases, discrepancies can be used by attackers to form a side channel.
Modes of Introduction:
Phase: Architecture and Design
Phase: Implementation
Common Consequences:
Scope: Confidentiality, Access

CWE-204 Observable Response Discrepancy
CWE-204: Observable Response Discrepancy
The product provides different responses to incoming requests in a way that reveals internal state information to an unauthorized actor outside of the intended control sphere.
Modes of Introduction:
Phase: Architecture and Design
Note: An observable response discrepancy frequently occurs during authentication, where a difference in failed-login messages could allow an attacker to determine if the username is valid or not. The discrepancy could be inadvertent (bug) or intentional (design).
