Critical Public Variable Without Final Modifier

When a critical variable—like a security flag, configuration setting, or cryptographic key—is made public without the `final` modifier, any part of the application with access to its class can alter its contents. This breaks the intended design and can lead to security failures, as other components may rely on that value remaining constant after being set. Manually tracking these exposed variables across a large codebase is challenging. An ASPM like Plexicus can automatically detect this pattern via SAST, and its AI remediation engine can suggest the specific code change—such as adding the `final` keyword or refactoring to a private field—saving significant manual review time and reducing risk.
