| Other | Increase Analytical Complexity
Ghi chú: A human auditor might indirectly trust that
whitespace (especially indentation) reflects the actual
control flow of the code, which could make it more
difficult to find vulnerabilities. | |
| Other | Reduce Maintainability
Ghi chú: This issue makes it more difficult to understand
and maintain the product, which indirectly affects
security by making it more difficult or time-consuming
to find and/or fix vulnerabilities. | |

Mô tả |
| Chain: incorrect "goto" in Apple SSL product bypasses certificate validation, allowing Adversary-in-the-Middle (AITM) attack (Apple "goto fail" bug). CWE-705 (Incorrect Control Flow Scoping) -> CWE-561 (Dead Code) -> CWE-295 (Improper Certificate Validation) -> CWE-393 (Return of Wrong Status Code) -> CWE-300 (Channel Accessible by Non-Endpoint). The code's whitespace indentation did not reflect the actual control flow (CWE-1114) and did not explicitly delimit the block (CWE-483), which could have made it more difficult for human code auditors to detect the vulnerability. |
Phương pháp phát hiện
Automated Static Analysis
Automated static analysis, commonly referred to as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), can find some instances of this weakness by analyzing source code (or binary/compiled code) without having to execute it. Typically, this is done by building a model of data flow and control flow, then searching for potentially-vulnerable patterns that connect "sources" (origins of input) with "sinks" (destinations where the data interacts with external components, a lower layer such as the OS, etc.)

Ghi chú ánh xạ lỗ hổng
Lý do : This entry is primarily a quality issue with no direct security implications.
Bình luận : Look for weaknesses that are focused specifically on insecure behaviors that have more direct security implications.
