SFP Secondary Cluster: Incorrect Exception Behavior

The product does not properly anticipate or handle exceptional conditions that rarely occur during normal operation of the product.

The product does not clean up its state or incorrectly cleans up its state when an exception is thrown, leading to unexpected state or control flow.

The product encounters an error but does not provide a status code or return value to indicate that an error has occurred.

The product does not use a standardized method for handling errors throughout the code, which might introduce inconsistent error handling and resultant weaknesses.

The product does not exit or otherwise modify its operation when security-relevant errors occur during initialization, such as when a configuration file has a format e...

When the product encounters an error condition or failure, its design requires it to fall back to a state that is less secure than other options that are available, su...

A function or operation returns an incorrect return value or status code that does not indicate an error, but causes the product to modify its behavior based on the in...
