CWE-602Client-Side Enforcement of Server-Side Security

Abstraction: Class · CVEs in our corpus: 104

The product is composed of a server that relies on the client to implement a mechanism that is intended to protect the server.

When the server relies on protection mechanisms placed on the client side, an attacker can modify the client-side behavior to bypass the protection mechanisms, resulting in potentially unexpected interactions between the client and server. The consequences will vary, depending on what the mechanisms are trying to protect.
