Application development is a complex undertaking, and vulnerabilities can hide in the background noise.\u00a0You should be thinking about security at every stage of application development, from class-level language features to API endpoint authorization.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1.953em;\">Thirteen rules for developing secure Java applications<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The following ground rules offer a good foundation for building more secure Java applications.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"body\"><strong>Java security rule #1: Write clean, strong Java code<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Keep your code as simple as possible without sacrificing functionality.<\/p>\n<p>Always expose as little information as possible in your code. Hiding implementation details\u00a0supports code that is both maintainable and secure. These three tips will go a long way toward writing secure Java code:<\/p>\n<aside id=\"\" class=\"nativo-promo nativo-promo-1 smartphone\"><\/aside>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Make good use of\u00a0Java&#8217;s access modifiers<\/strong>. Knowing how to declare different access levels for classes, methods, and their attributes will go a long way to protecting your code.\u00a0Everything that can be made private, should be private.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid reflection and introspection<\/strong>. There are some cases where such advanced techniques are merited, but for the most part you should avoid them. Using reflection eliminates strong typing,\u00a0which can introduce weak points and instability to your code. Comparing class names as strings is prone to error and can easily lead to collision of namespace.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Always define the smallest possible API and interface surfaces<\/strong>. Decouple components and make them interact across the smallest area possible. Even if one area of your application is infected by a breach, others will be safe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"body\"><strong>Java security rule #2: Avoid serialization<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is another coding tip, but it&#8217;s important enough to be a rule of its own. Serialization takes a remote input and transforms it into a fully endowed object. It dispenses with constructors and access modifiers, and allows for a stream of unknown data to become running code in the JVM. As a result, Java serialization is deeply and inherently insecure.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3ELmCiA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn Coding in your Language! Enroll Here!<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<aside class=\"sidebar\"><\/aside>\n<h3 class=\"body\"><strong>Java security rule #3: Never expose unencrypted credentials or PII<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to believe, but this avoidable mistake causes pain year after year.<\/p>\n<p>When a user enters a password into the browser, it is sent as plaintext to your server. That should be the last time it sees the light of day. You\u00a0<em>must<\/em> encrypt the password through a one-way cypher before persisting it to the database, and then do it again whenever you compare against that value.<\/p>\n<p>The rules for passwords apply to all personally identifiable information (PII): credit cards, social security numbers, etc. Any personal information entrusted to your application should be treated with the highest level of care.<\/p>\n<p>Unencrypted credentials or PII in a database is a gaping security hole, waiting for an attacker to discover. Likewise, never write raw credentials to a log, or otherwise transmit to file or network. Instead,\u00a0create a salted hash for your passwords. Be sure to do your research and\u00a0use a recommended hashing algorithm.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"nativo-promo nativo-promo-2 tablet desktop smartphone\"><\/aside>\n<h3 class=\"body\"><strong>Java security rule #4: Use known and tested libraries<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Use known, reliable libraries and frameworks whenever possible. This applies across the spectrum, from password hashing to REST API authorization.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Java and its ecosystem have your back here. For application security,\u00a0Spring Security\u00a0is the de facto standard. It offers a wide-range of options and the flexibility to fit with any app architecture, and it incorporate a range of security approaches.<\/p>\n<p>Your first instinct in tackling security should be to do your research. Research best-practices, and then research what library will implement those practices for you.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"nativo-promo nativo-promo-3 tablet desktop smartphone\"><\/aside>\n<p>Even using a reliable tool, it is fairly easy to bungle authorization and authentication. Be sure to move slowly and double check everything you do.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3ELmCiA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn Coding in your Language! Enroll Here!<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<h3 class=\"body\"><strong>Java security rule #5: Be paranoid about external input<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Whether it comes from a user typing into a form, a datastore, or a remote API, never trust external input.<\/p>\n<p>SQL injection\u00a0and\u00a0cross-site scripting (XSS) are just the most commonly known attacks that can result from mishandling external input.<\/p>\n<p>Anytime you receive input, it should be sanity checked and sanitized. This is especially true of anything that might be presented to another tool or system for processing. For example, if something could wind up as an argument for a OS command-line: beware!<\/p>\n<p>A special and well-known instance is SQL injection, which is covered in the next rule.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"body\"><strong>Java security rule #6: Always use prepared statements to handle SQL parameters<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Anytime you build up an SQL statement, you risk inserting a fragment of executable code.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing this, it&#8217;s a good practice to\u00a0<em>always<\/em>\u00a0use the java.sql.PreparedStatement class to create SQL. Similar facilities exist for NoSQL stores like MongoDB. If you are using an ORM layer, the implementation will use\u00a0<code>PreparedStatement<\/code>s for you under the hood.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3ELmCiA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Learn to code from industry experts! Enroll here<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n<h3 class=\"body\"><strong>Java security rule #7: Don&#8217;t reveal implementation via error messages<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Error messages in production can be a fertile source of information for attackers. Stack traces, especially, can reveal information about the technology you are using and how you are using it. Avoid revealing stack traces to end users.<\/p>\n<p>Failed-login alerts also fall into this category. It is generally accepted that an error message should be given as &#8220;Login failed&#8221; versus &#8220;Did not find that user&#8221; or &#8220;Incorrect password.&#8221; Offer as little help to potentially nefarious users as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, error messages should not reveal the underlying technology stack for your application. Keep that information as opaque as possible.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"body\"><strong>Java security rule #8: Keep security releases up to date<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As of 2019, Oracle has implemented\u00a0a new licensing scheme and release schedule for Java. Unfortunately for developers, the new release does not make things easier. Nonetheless, you are responsible for frequently checking for security updates and applying them to your JRE and JDK.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you know what critical patches are available by regularly checking the Oracle homepage for\u00a0security alerts. Every quarter, Oracle delivers an automated patch update for the current LTS (long-term-support) release of Java. The trouble is, that patch is only available if you are paying for a Java support license.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1.25em;\"><span style=\"color: #1d1f20; font-size: 1.563em;\">Java security rule #9: Look for dependency vulnerabilities<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>There are many tools available to automatically scan your codebase and dependencies for vulnerabilities. All you have to do is use them.<\/p>\n<p>OWASP, the Open Web Application Security Project, is an organization dedicated to improving code security. OWASP&#8217;s list of trusted, high-quality automated code scanning tools\u00a0includes several Java-oriented tools.<\/p>\n<p>Check your codebase regularly, but also keep an eye on third-party dependencies. Attackers target both open- and closed-source libraries. Watch for updates to your dependencies, and update your system as new security fixes are released.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"body\"><strong>Java security rule #10: Monitor and log user activity<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Even a simple brute-force attack can be successful if you aren&#8217;t actively monitoring your application. Use monitoring and logging tools to keep an eye on app health.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to be convinced why monitoring is important, just sit and watch TCP packets on your applications listening port. You&#8217;ll see all kinds of activity, well beyond simple user interactions. Some of that activity will be bots and evil-doers scanning for vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n<p>You should be logging and monitoring for failed login attempts and deploying counter-measures to prevent remote clients from attacking with impunity.<\/p>\n<p>Monitoring can alert you to unexplained spikes, and logging can help unravel what went wrong following an attack.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3ELmCiA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn Coding in your Language! Enroll Here!<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<h3 class=\"body\"><strong>Java security rule #11: Watch out for Denial of Service (DoS) attacks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Anytime you are processing potentially expensive resources or undertaking potentially expensive operations, you should guard against runaway resource usage.<\/p>\n<p>Oracle maintains a list of potential vectors for this type of problem in its\u00a0Secure Coding Guidelines for Java SE\u00a0document, under the &#8220;Denial Of Service&#8221; heading.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, anytime you go to perform an expensive operation, like unzipping a compressed file, you should monitor for exploding resource usage. Don&#8217;t trust file manifests. Trust only the actual on-disk or in-memory consumption, monitor it, and guard against bring-the-server-to-its-knees excesses.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"body\"><strong>Java security rule #12: Consider using the Java security manager<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Java has a\u00a0security manager\u00a0that can be used to restrict the resources a running process has access to. It can isolate the program with respect to disk, memory, network, and JVM access. Narrowing down these requirements for your app reduces the footprint of possible harm from an attack. Such isolation can also be inconvenient, which is why\u00a0<code>SecurityManager<\/code>\u00a0isn&#8217;t enabled by default.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"body\"><strong>Java security rule #13: Consider using an external cloud authentication service<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Some applications simply must own their user data; for the rest, a cloud service provider could make sense.<\/p>\n<p>Search around and you&#8217;ll find a range of cloud authentication providers. The benefit of such a service is that the provider is responsible for securing sensitive user data, not you. On the other hand, adding an authentication service increases the complexity of your enterprise architecture. Some solutions, like\u00a0FireBase Authentication, include SDKs for integrating across the stack.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3ELmCiA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn Coding in your Language!
