Kelas: Not Language-Specific (Undetermined)

Konsekuensi Umum

Cakupan Dampak Kemungkinan
OtherReduce Maintainability

Catatan: 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.
OtherIncrease Analytical Complexity

Catatan: 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.

Mitigasi yang Memungkinkan

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

Metode Deteksi

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.
Efektivitas : Moderate

Catatan Pemetaan Kerentanan

Justifikasi : 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.
Komentar : 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.
