CWE-622

Weakness Allowed

Improper Validation of Function Hook Arguments

Abstraction: Variant · Status: Draft

API response cwe.mitre.org

The product adds hooks to user-accessible API functions, but it does not properly validate the arguments.

Mapping guidance

This CWE entry is at the Variant level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.

Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.
