Proveedores y productos

CPE, que significa Enumeración de Plataformas Comunes, es un esquema estandarizado para nombrar hardware, software y sistemas operativos. CPE proporciona un esquema de nomenclatura estructurado para identificar y clasificar de forma única sistemas de tecnología de la información, plataformas y paquetes en función de atributos como proveedor, nombre del producto, versión, actualización, edición e idioma.

Nombre: Inaccurate Source Code Comments

The source code contains comments that do not accurately describe or explain aspects of the portion of the code with which the comment is associated.

Lenguaje

Clase: Not Language-Specific (Undetermined)

Consecuencias comunes

Alcance	Impacto	Probabilidad
Other	Reduce Maintainability Note: This issue makes it more difficult to maintain the product, which indirectly affects security by making it more difficult or time-consuming to find and/or fix vulnerabilities. It also might make it easier to introduce vulnerabilities.
Other	Increase Analytical Complexity Note: When a comment does not accurately reflect the associated code elements, this can introduce confusion to a reviewer (due to inconsistencies) or make it more difficult and less efficient to validate that the code is implementing the intended behavior correctly.

Mitigaciones potenciales

Phases : Implementation
Verify that each comment accurately reflects what is intended to happen during execution of the code.

Métodos de detección

Manual Static Analysis

Compare the comments to the actual code itself to ensure the comment is consistent with the code. If an inconsistency exists, consult available documentation for developers of the product (design, libraries, APIs, etc.) Note that documentation might be stored in different places than the code repository.
Efectividad : Moderate

Notas de mapeo de vulnerabilidades

Justificación : This CWE entry is at the Base level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.
Comentario : Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.
