Note: When an exception handling block (such as a Catch and Finally block) is used, but that block is empty, this can prevent the product from running reliably. If the relevant code is reachable by an attacker, then this reliability problem might introduce a vulnerability. | |
Mesures d’atténuation potentielles
Phases : Implementation
For every exception block add code that handles the specific exception in the way intended by the application.
Notes de cartographie des vulnérabilités
Justification : This CWE entry is at the Variant level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.
Commentaire : 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. In many
cases, the use of an empty exception block may only
indicate a quality issue. However, in some cases, it
prevents the product from appropriately responding to
security-critical events. Consider also mapping to the
higher-level weakness that is resultant from this
one. Note: this weakness was formerly 'Prohibited' for
mapping from CWE 4.14 (2024-02-29) to CWE 4.19.1
(2026-01-21).
