CWE-1083—Data Access from Outside Expected Data Manager Component

Weakness Name

Data Access from Outside Expected Data Manager Component

Description

The product is intended to manage data access through a particular data manager component such as a relational or non-SQL database, but it contains code that performs data access operations without using that component.

When the product has a data access component, the design may be intended to handle all data access operations through that component. If a data access operation is performed outside of that component, then this may indicate a violation of the intended design.

Common Consequences

Scope:

Other

Impact:

Reduce Reliability

Notes:

This issue can prevent the product from running reliably. If the relevant code is reachable by an attacker, then this reliability problem might introduce a vulnerability.
