Missing secure obfuscation - JavaScript

Description

It is possible to obtain source code from the application since it has only been partially obfuscated in a secure way. This could allow an attacker to understand the inner workings of the application.

Impact

• Understand the operation of the application in order to increase the attack vector.
• Identify validations performed by the front end.

Recommendation

Perform an obfuscation process to the code exposed in web applications.

Threat

Unauthorized user from the Internet.

Expected Remediation Time

⌚ minutes.

Score

Default score using CVSS 3.1. It may change depending on the context of the src.

Compliant code

The source code is stored using obfuscation techniques like a rename method

function calculatePay(a b){
  while(b.c()){
    b.a(true);
    c.a();
    b(c);
  }
}

Non compliant code

The source code has been stored without using any form of obfuscation

function calculatePay(SpecialList clientGroup){
  while(clientGroup.HasMore()){
    clientGroup.getNext(true);
    client.updatePay();
    makePay(client);
  }
}
