Name: Inappropriate Whitespace Style

The source code contains whitespace that is inconsistent across the code or does not follow expected standards for the product.

Class: Not Language-Specific (Undetermined)

Häufige Konsequenzen

Bereich Auswirkung Wahrscheinlichkeit
OtherIncrease Analytical Complexity

Note: A human auditor might indirectly trust that whitespace (especially indentation) reflects the actual control flow of the code, which could make it more difficult to find vulnerabilities.
OtherReduce Maintainability

Note: This issue makes it more difficult to understand and maintain the product, which indirectly affects security by making it more difficult or time-consuming to find and/or fix vulnerabilities.

Referenzen Beschreibung

CVE-2014-1266

Chain: incorrect "goto" in Apple SSL product bypasses certificate validation, allowing Adversary-in-the-Middle (AITM) attack (Apple "goto fail" bug). CWE-705 (Incorrect Control Flow Scoping) -> CWE-561 (Dead Code) -> CWE-295 (Improper Certificate Validation) -> CWE-393 (Return of Wrong Status Code) -> CWE-300 (Channel Accessible by Non-Endpoint). The code's whitespace indentation did not reflect the actual control flow (CWE-1114) and did not explicitly delimit the block (CWE-483), which could have made it more difficult for human code auditors to detect the vulnerability.

Hinweise zur Schwachstellen-Zuordnung

Begründung : This entry is primarily a quality issue with no direct security implications.
Kommentar : Look for weaknesses that are focused specifically on insecure behaviors that have more direct security implications.
