Techniques & Countermeasures

  • CWE-400•Uncontrolled Resource Consumption

    The product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource.

  • CWE-1333•Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity

    The product uses a regular expression with a worst-case computational complexity that is inefficient and possibly exponential.
