CWE-1176: Inefficient CPU Computation
Weakness ID : 1176
Structure : Simple
Abstraction : Class
Description
The product performs CPU computations using algorithms that are not as efficient as they could be
for the needs of the developer, i.e., the computations can be optimized further.
Extended Description
This issue can make the product perform more slowly, possibly in ways that are noticeable to the
users. If an attacker can influence the amount of computation that must be performed, e.g. by
triggering worst-case complexity, then this performance 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.
