A UI function is obsolete and the product does not warn the user.
How it's found
Obsolete Feature in UI 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.
Consequences
- Quality Degradation, Varies by Context
Mitigations
- Architecture and Design: Remove the obsolete feature from the UI. Warn the user that the feature is no longer supported.
