23 -Email addresses disclosed
CWE : CWE-200
Description :
email addresses of developers and other individuals (whether appearing on-screen or

they may be used in social engineering attacks against the organization's personnel.
Affected Path(s) :

Impact :
Unnecessary or excessive disclosure of email addresses may lead to social engineering
attacks and increase in the volume of spam email received.

personal addresses with anonymous mailbox addresses (such as

2. Obfuscate the email addresses in such as way that
displayed as emailaddress[at]something[dot]com.
3. To reduce the quantity of spam sent to anonymous mailbox addresses, consider
hiding the email address and instead providing a form that generates the email
server-side, protected by a CAPTCHA if necessary.
