| Other | Reduce Maintainability 注記：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 注記：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. |
潜在的な緩和策
Phases : ImplementationVerify that each comment accurately reflects what is intended to happen during execution of the code.
検出方法
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.有効性 : Moderate
脆弱性マッピングノート
理由 : 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.コメント : 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.
