OWASP Top 10 Vulnerabilities in ADF


The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a 501(c)(3) worldwide not-for-profit charitable organization focused on improving the security of software. Their mission is to make software security visible, so that individuals and organizations worldwide can make informed decisions about true software security risks.

OWASP publishes a list of top 10 critical web application security vulnerabilities identified each year. 
For more information on OWASP Click here

To mitigate the OWASP Top 10 Security Vulnerabilities Oracle has provided a white paper. In this paper you can see what the vulnerabilities are and how we can protect those. The provided document is to help developers that know security identify tools and features in Oracle ADF that they can use to implement application security. This paper does not replace a formal code review process.

Passivation and Activation in ADF (Application Module )

1. For performance reasons, ADF keeps a pool of application modules in memory. It tries to give each session the same application module as the session used during the last request; however, this might not be possible during peak load of your application. 2. In this case, ADF saves the application modules state in a database table so the application module can be used by another session. This is called passivation . 3. When the first session needs the application module again, its state is retrieved from the database process known as activation . 4. If you have made an error in your code and depend on some variable that is not persisted correctly when your application module state is stored, you will experience mysterious errors under high load.   Enable/Disable Application Module Pooling : Right-click on your application module, choose Configurations.By default, each application module has two configurations. Ensure that the one ending in …Local is selected and then click

Get modified rows from Entitiy Cache

To get the modified rows from entity cache we have getEntityState() method at EntityImpl class. Refer to my previous blog  Accessing EO impl methods from VO impl  where i am overriding the getEntityState() in EOimpl and calling it in VOImpl. We can use methods written or overridden in VOImpl class to AMImpl class. There are different states associated with an entity object. STATUS_UNMODIFIED STATUS_MODIFIED STATUS_NEW STATUS_DELETED STATUS_DEAD We have to check the state or row in our AmImpl class by using the VOImpl method and through this we can distinguish the rows present at vo. Add below code in AMImpl class along with my previous post. public void geCachedRowsCount(){         JobsVOImpl jobsVo = (JobsVOImpl)this.getJobsVO();         RowSetIterator iter = jobsVo.createRowSetIterator(null);             while(iter.hasNext()){             Row row = iter.next();             byte state = jobsVo.getEntityState(row);             System.out.println("Job_id -&

The file store "WLS_DIAGNOSTICS" could not be opened

WLS_DIAGNOSTIC ERROR weblogic.store.PersistentStoreException: [Store:280073]The file store "WLS_DIAGNOSTICS" could not be opened because it contained a file with the invalid version 1.
