CWE-1056: Invokable Control Element with Variadic Parameters
Weakness ID : 1056
Structure : Simple
Abstraction : Base
Description
A named-callable or method control element has a signature that supports a variable (variadic)
number of parameters or arguments.
Extended Description
This issue can prevent the product from running reliably. If the relevant code is reachable by an
attacker, then this reliability problem might introduce a vulnerability.
With variadic arguments, it can be difficult or inefficient for manual analysis to be certain of which
function/method is being invoked.
