# Protection Mechanism Failure (CWE-693)

The product does not use or incorrectly uses a protection mechanism that provides sufficient defense against directed attacks against the product.

**Stack:** Docker

- Prevalence: Élevée Fréquemment exploitée
- Impact: Élevé 1 règles de sévérité élevée
- Prevention: Documentée 8 exemples de correctifs

**OWASP:** Security Misconfiguration (A05:2021-Security Misconfiguration) - #5

## Description

This weakness covers three distinct situations: Missing a protection mechanism, using a faulty protection mechanism, or incorrectly applying a protection mechanism. A missing protection mechanism occurs when the application does not defend against a specific attack. A faulty protection mechanism occurs when the application does defend against a specific attack, but the protection mechanism is not implemented correctly.

## Prevention

Stratégies de prévention pour Protection Mechanism Failure basées sur 1 règles de détection Shoulder.

### Docker

Add a HEALTHCHECK instruction to enable container health monitoring

## Warning Signs

- [LOW] Dockerfile has no HEALTHCHECK instruction for container health monitoring
- [LOW] Dockerfiles missing HEALTHCHECK instructions for container monitoring

## Consequences

- Contourner le mécanisme de protection
- Exécuter du code non autorisé
- Obtenir des privilèges

## Mitigations

- Mettez en place plusieurs couches de sécurité (défense en profondeur)
- Utilisez des mécanismes de sécurité standards de l'industrie et éprouvés plutôt que des implémentations sur mesure
- Assurez-vous que les mécanismes de protection ne peuvent être contournés ni désactivés

## Detection

- Total rules: 8
- Languages: dockerfile, go, javascript, typescript

## Rules by Language

### Dockerfile (1 rules)

- **Missing Healthcheck Configuration** [LOW]: Detects Dockerfiles missing HEALTHCHECK instructions for container monitoring.
  - Remediation: Add a HEALTHCHECK instruction to monitor container health.

```dockerfile
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=10s --retries=3 \
  CMD curl -f http://localhost:8080/health || exit 1
```
