Discussion

Detailed error messages issued by custom or user-written code can possibly give too much detail to the users. This code should be examined to ensure that this does not happen.

Check Content

Check custom database code to determine if detailed error messages are ever displayed to unauthorized individuals.

If detailed error messages are displayed to individuals not authorized to view them, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure custom database code and associated application code not to display detailed error messages to those not authorized to view them.
