MFCOBOL (Micro Focus COBOL)
Purpose: Facilitates the development and execution of COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language) programs. Supports the creation of business applications for various platforms, including mainframes and distributed systems.
Vulnerabilities: Buffer Overflow: Exploiting insufficient bounds checking in COBOL programs to overwrite memory. Injection Attacks: Manipulating input data to execute unauthorized commands or access sensitive information. Insecure File Handling: Vulnerabilities in file operations leading to unauthorized data access or modification. Weak Authentication: Flaws in user authentication mechanisms, such as hardcoded credentials or weak password storage. Denial of Service (DoS): Overloading COBOL applications with excessive requests, causing disruption.
Tools: COBOL-IT, Micro Focus Visual COBOL, COBOL Analyzer
