CWE-180: Incorrect Behavior Order: Validate Before Canonicalize.¶
MITRE. (2006). CWE-180: Incorrect Behavior Order: Validate Before Canonicalize. Common Weakness Enumeration.
Cited by¶
1 citation across 1 artifact.
Each citation links to the sentence it supports in the citing article.
Mechanisms¶
- Canonicalization Pipeline
- In security-sensitive systems this is a known vulnerability class: improper resolution of path or URL equivalence lets a request that looks different from a blocked one canonicalize into the same resource, or vice versa, defeating access checks.
This sourceIdentifies validating before canonicalization as a weakness that can permit equivalent encodings to bypass access controls.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
