# TypeScript Access Modifier Bypass

- ID: typescript-access-modifier-bypass
- Severity: HIGH
- CWE: CWE-668 (CWE-668)
- Languages: TypeScript
- Frameworks: typescript

## Description

TypeScript private/protected modifiers are compile-time only. Bracket notation and
type assertions bypass them at runtime, exposing sensitive data like passwords and tokens.

## Detection Message

Access modifier bypass detected using {technique}. Private/protected fields accessed through runtime mechanisms.

## Remediation

Use ECMAScript private fields (#) for true runtime encapsulation.

```typescript
class User {
  #password: string;

  constructor(password: string) {
    this.#password = password;
  }

  verifyPassword(input: string): boolean {
    return this.#password === input;
  }
}
```
