All CWEs
CWE-1120
Excessive Code Complexity
ClassIncompleteSimple
The code is too complex, as calculated using a well-defined,
quantitative measure.
Common consequences2
- OtherReduce MaintainabilityIncrease Analytical Complexity
This issue makes it more difficult to understand and/or maintain the product, which indirectly affects security by making it more difficult or time-consuming to find and/or fix vulnerabilities. It also might make it easier to introduce vulnerabilities.
- OtherReduce Performance
This issue can make the product perform more slowly. If the relevant code is reachable by an attacker, then this performance problem might introduce a vulnerability.
