To protect against data mining, the ALG providing content filtering must prevent code injection attacks launched against application objects including, at a minimum, application URLs and application code.

| Description | ||||
| Data mining is the analysis of large quantities of data to discover patterns and is used in intelligence gathering. Failure to prevent attacks launched against organizational information from unauthorized data mining may result in the compromise of information. Injection attacks allow an attacker to inject code into a program or query or inject malware onto a computer to execute remote commands that can read or modify a database, or change data on a website. These attacks include buffer overrun, XML, JavaScript, and HTML injections. Compliance requires the ALG to have the capability to prevent code injections. Examples include a Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) or database application gateways. | ||||

Check Text (C-204981r831358_chk)
If the ALG does not perform content filtering as part of the traffic management functions, this is not applicable.
Verify the ALG prevents code injection attacks from being launched against application objects including, at a minimum, application URLs and application code.
If the ALG does not prevent code injection attacks from being launched against application objects including, at a minimum, application URLs and application code, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-5249r396077_fix)
If the ALG performs content filtering as part of the traffic management functionality, configure the ALG to prevent code injection attacks from being launched against application objects including, at a minimum, application URLs and application code.
