CWE-1088: Synchronous Access of Remote Resource without Timeout
Weakness ID : 1088
Structure : Simple
Abstraction : Base
Description
The code has a synchronous call to a remote resource, but there is no timeout for the call, or the
timeout is set to infinite.
Extended Description
This issue can prevent the product from running reliably, since an outage for the remote resource
can cause the product to hang. If the relevant code is reachable by an attacker, then this reliability
problem might introduce a vulnerability.
