Category: The CERT Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java (2011) Chapter 11 - Thread APIs (THI)
Obsolete
Summary
Weaknesses in this category are related to rules in the Thread APIs (THI) chapter of The CERT Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java (2011).
Membership
| ID | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CWE-572 | Call to Thread run() instead of start() | This vulnerability occurs when a program incorrectly calls a thread's `run()` method directly, instead of using the `start()` method. This mistake causes the thread's code to execute within the caller's current thread, bypassing the creation of a new, concurrent thread of execution. |
| CWE-705 | Incorrect Control Flow Scoping | This vulnerability occurs when a program fails to return execution to the correct point in the code after finishing a specific operation or handling an error. Instead of resuming normal flow, it may jump to an unintended location, leading to unpredictable behavior or security issues. |
| CWE-844 | Weaknesses Addressed by The CERT Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java (2011) | CWE entries in this view (graph) are fully or partially eliminated by following the guidance presented in the book "The CERT Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java" published in 2011. This view is considered obsolete as a newer version of the coding standard is available. |
Vulnerability Mapping Notes
Usage: Prohibited
Reasons: Category
Rationale:
This entry is a Category. Using categories for mapping has been discouraged since 2019. Categories are informal organizational groupings of weaknesses that can help CWE users with data aggregation, navigation, and browsing. However, they are not weaknesses in themselves.
