> There are multiple security vulnerabilities found in fineract-provider as
> described in this report [1]
> There are four types of vulnerabilities related to using public mutable and
> nonconstant fields.
> 1. Mutable fields should not be "public static"
> * MITRE, CWE-582 - Array Declared Public, Final, and Static
> * MITRE, CWE-607 - Public Static Final Field References Mutable Object
> 2. "static final" arrays should be "private"
> * MITRE, CWE-582 - Array Declared Public, Final, and Static
> * MITRE, CWE-607 - Public Static Final Field References Mutable Object
> 3. "public static" fields should be constant
> * MITRE, CWE-500 - Public Static Field Not Marked Final
> * CERT OBJ10-J - Do not use public static nonfinal variable
> 4. "enum" fields should not be publicly mutable
> The reported incident of type 2 is considered to be false positive. 1,3,4
> types are present as described in the report[1]
> The proposed solutions[2] are as follows.(Solutions are respective to each
> vulnerability type above)
> 1. Mutable fields should not be "public static" => Make the respective
> members protected. If they are in a class move them to a separate class and
> lower the visibility.
> 2. "static final" arrays should be "private" => Make the arrays private
> 3. "public static" fields should be constant => Make the respective field
> final
> 4. "enum" fields should not be publicly mutable => Lower the visibility of
> the setter. Remove it altogether.
> Some of the issues were fixed in [FINERACT-436
> \[3\]|https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/343]. The rest should be
> covered in this ticket.
