dc.description.abstractExposure of sensitive information can be harmful on its own. In addition, it could enable further attacks. A rigorous and unambiguous definition of information exposure faults can help researchers and practitioners identify them, thus avoiding security failures. This paper describes Information Exposure (IEX), a new class in the Bugs Framework (BF). The IEX class comprises a rigorous definition and (static) attributes of the class, along with their related dynamic properties, such as proximate and secondary causes, consequences and sites. We use the IEX class to analyze specific vulnerabilities and provide clear descriptions. We also discuss lessons we learned that will help create additional BF classesen
