WCF Data Services Many applications use external web services to allow partners, WPF/Silverlight applications, cloud components, or other entities to access information and functionality. Trusted parties can use SOAP, REST, or AJAX requests to communicate with ASP.NET Web Service end-points. Since standard protocols are used to connect with these components, malicious users can also issue requests to your web services. In some cases, web services provide detailed information regarding the method calls and parameters available, as well as detailed error messages for failed attacks.

The code is provided below. This web service accepts a dividend and a divisor and it returns the quotient. Since this is a simple demonstration, the code does not include any functionality or data that an attacker would likely target, but the concepts that are demonstrated still apply. If we run this application and visit the Math.asmx page, a description page is displayed. The description page lists all the web service methods, parameters, and even provides example SOAP requests for calling the methods. Since I am accessing the service locally, it also provides an HTML form to test the functionality. Depending on the settings in the Web.Config file, this form may or may not be available to external users. In addition to the description page, the WSDL document is also accessible. A client can call this service using a SOAP or REST request, as shown below. By default, the application displays detailed error messages. Two example exceptions are shown below. The first exception is due to a divide by zero condition; the second is due to missing parameter values in the SOAP request.
