Example Language: Java (Good)
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int pt_weight = 83;
int mg_per_kg = 3;
int daily_dose = 0;
// Multiply the patient weight and Mg/Kg to calculate the correct daily dose
daily_dose = pt_weight * mg_per_kg;
return dosage;
}
}
Note that in real-world code, these values should be validated to disallow negative numbers,
prevent integer overflow, etc.

CWE-1117: Callable with Insufficient Behavioral Summary
Weakness ID : 1117
Structure : Simple
Abstraction : Base
Description
The code contains a function or method whose signature and/or associated inline documentation
does not sufficiently describe the callable's inputs, outputs, side effects, assumptions, or return
codes.
Extended Description
This issue makes it more difficult to maintain the product, which indirectly affects security by
making it more difficult or time-consuming to find and/or fix vulnerabilities. It also might make it
easier to introduce vulnerabilities.
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.
