Méthodes de détection

Automated Static Analysis

Conduct a code coverage analysis using live testing, then closely inspect any code that is not covered.

Notes de cartographie des vulnérabilités

Justification : 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.
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.

Notes

It is suspected that malicious code can often be characterized using other "regular" weaknesses related to insecure behavior. However, this has not been closely investigated.
