CWE-1054: Invocation of a Control Element at an Unnecessarily Deep
Horizontal Layer
Weakness ID : 1054
Structure : Simple
Abstraction : Base
Description
The code at one architectural layer invokes code that resides at a deeper layer than the adjacent
layer, i.e., the invocation skips at least one layer, and the invoked code is not part of a vertical utility
layer that can be referenced from any horizontal layer.
Extended Description
This issue makes it more difficult to understand and 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.
