CWE-1069: Empty Exception Block
Weakness ID : 1069
Structure : Simple
Abstraction : Variant
Description
An invokable code block contains an exception handling block that does not contain any code, i.e.
is empty.
Extended Description
When an exception handling block (such as a Catch and Finally block) is used, but that block is
empty, this can prevent the product from running reliably. If the relevant code is reachable by an
attacker, then this reliability problem might introduce a vulnerability.
Relationships
The table(s) below shows the weaknesses and high level categories that are related to this
weakness. These relationships are defined as ChildOf, ParentOf, MemberOr and give insight to
similar items that may exist at higher and lower levels of abstraction. In addition, relationships such
as PeerOf and CanAlsoBe are defined to show similar weaknesses that may want to be explored.
