Description
Mobile code is defined as software modules obtained from remote systems, transferred across a network, and then downloaded and executed on a local system without explicit installation or execution by the recipient. This applies to mobile code that may originate either internal to or external from the enclave. Mobile code is defined as software modules obtained from remote systems, transferred across a network, and then downloaded and executed on a local system without explicit installation or execution by the recipient. Mobile code that must be blocked or restricted is identified in CCI-001166. The CA API Gateway must block against code injection and SQL injection attacks, helping to block any mobile code that is exhibiting unusual behavior, such as the injection of incorrect code or wrongly formatted SQL statements, and that may be prohibited from use due to these anomalies.
