This CWE-1006 category signifies unsafe coding practices enhancing the probability of exploitable vulnerabilities. If a product lacks meticulous development or upkeep, concealed weaknesses in the code are more likely.
Summary
The vulnerabilities within this category are associated with coding practices that are considered to be unsafe, hence enhancing the probability of having an exploitable vulnerability within the application. These weaknesses do not inherently introduce a vulnerability; rather, they signify that the product has not undergone meticulous development or upkeep. In the case of a complex and challenging-to-maintain program that lacks portability or shows signs of neglect, the chances of concealed weaknesses within the code are higher.
