CWE-1075: Unconditional Control Flow Transfer outside of Switch Block
Weakness ID : 1075
Structure : Simple
Abstraction : Base
Description
The product performs unconditional control transfer (such as a "goto") in code outside of a
branching structure such as a switch block.
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.
