CWE-1082: Class Instance Self Destruction Control Element
The code contains a class instance that calls the method or function to delete or destroy itself.
How it's found
Class Instance Self Destruction Control Element is typically found by tracing untrusted input from where it enters the system to the point where it is used without the check or neutralization this weakness describes, combining manual code review with dynamic testing.
For example, in C++, "delete this" will cause the object to delete itself.
Consequences
- Reduce Reliability: This issue can prevent the product from running reliably. If the relevant code is reachable by an attacker, then this reliability problem might introduce a vulnerability.
Where this fits in a TurboPentest engagement
TurboPentest's agentic pentest is powerful and covers a broad range of issues automatically. This particular class is best confirmed in a manual IntegSec engagement, where human pentesters apply deeper methodology and a larger context window than any automated pass.
