Weaknesses
The software allocates a reusable resource or group of resources on behalf of an actor without imposing any restrictions on the size or number of resources that can be...
The software uses an API function that does not exist on all versions of the target platform. This could cause portability problems or inconsistencies that allow denia...
The software transmits sensitive or security-critical data in cleartext in a communication channel that can be sniffed by unauthorized actors.
The application deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently verifying that the resulting data will be valid.
The software performs an operation at a privilege level that is higher than the minimum level required, which creates new weaknesses or amplifies the consequences of o...
The code contains a class with sensitive data, but the class does not explicitly deny serialization. The data can be accessed by serializing the class through another ...
The software does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource, thereby enabling an actor to influence the amount of resources consumed, e...
