CWE-353

Missing Support for Integrity Check

Description

The product uses a transmission protocol that does not include a mechanism for verifying the integrity of the data during transmission, such as a checksum.

Potential Impact

How to Fix

Add an appropriately sized checksum to the protocol, ensuring that data received may be simply validated before it is parsed and used.

Implementation

Ensure that the checksums present in the protocol design are properly implemented and added to each message before it is sent.
