CWE-710: Improper Adherence to Coding Standards
The product does not follow certain coding rules for development, which can lead to resultant weaknesses or increase the severity of the associated vulnerabilities.
How it's found
Improper Adherence to Coding Standards is a broad weakness category rather than one exact bug. Testers narrow it down through manual code review and architecture review to identify which of its more specific child weaknesses actually appears in a given target, then confirm each one individually.
Consequences
- Other
Mitigations
- Policy: Select and require coding standards. Ensure that they include security concerns.
- Implementation: Closely follow coding standards, possibly enforcing them upon checkin of the code into a source control system or with periodic analyses.
