CWE Standard Compliance
CWE
CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) is the most common and impactful issue that allows developers, testers, users, project managers to find the severe and current security weak code checks.
Supported Language: Java, C/ C++, Go, Python, Ruby
CPP
The below table will provide you with insight into currently supported CWE C/CPP security checks.
| Sr. No | Supported CWE Checks |
|---|---|
| 1. | CWE-910 : The software uses or accesses a file descriptor after it has been closed. |
| 2. | CWE-415: The product calls free() twice on the same memory address, potentially leading to modification of unexpected memory locations. |
| 3. | CWE-404: The program does not release or incorrectly releases a resource before it is made available for re-use. |
| 4. | CWE-401: The software does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, which slowly consumes remaining memory |
| 5. | CWE-369: The product divides a value by zero. |
| 6. | CWE-252: The software does not check the return value from a method or function, which can prevent it from detecting unexpected states and conditions. |
| 7. | CWE-783: The program uses an expression in which operator precedence causes incorrect logic to be used. |
| 8. | CWE-561: The software contains dead code, which can never be executed. |
| 9. | CWE-484 : The program omits a break statement within a switch or similar construct, causing code associated with multiple conditions to execute. This can cause problems when the programmer only intended to execute code associated with one condition. |
| 10. | CWE-478: The code does not have a default case in a switch statement, which might lead to complex logical errors and resultant weaknesses. |
