New Apex Security Hotspots

• Deserializing JSON Is Security-Sensitive: Deserializing an object from an untrusted source is security-sensitive. An attacker could modify the content of the data.

• Encrypting Data Is Security-Sensitive: Encrypting data is security-sensitive. Although most encryption problems are solved or managed by Salesforce, care must be taken when relying on encryption.

• Type Reflection Is Security Sensitive: Dynamically executing code is security-sensitive. If the code comes from an untrusted source, the untrusted source may be able to choose which code to run.

• Using Cookies Is Security-Sensitive: Attackers can use widely available tools to view the cookie and read the sensitive information. Even if the information is encoded in a way that is not human-readable, certain techniques could determine which encoding is being used, then decode the information.

• Using UserInfo.GetSessionId() Is Security-Sensitive: The use of UserInfo.GetSessionId() is security-sensitive. Ensure that you need to do this.

New Visualforce Security Hotspots
