Glexia's Take · Automated analysis
CWE-1051: Initialization with Hard-Coded Network Resource Configuration Data
Initialization with Hard-Coded Network Resource Configuration Data represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
Executive Impact
- Other: Reduce Reliability: This issue can prevent the product from running reliably, e.g. if it runs in an environment does not use the hard-coded network resource identifiers. If the relevant code is reachable by an attacker, then this reliability problem might introduce a vulnerability.
Developer Pattern
CWE-1051 is the kind of defect developers can usually prevent with explicit validation, safer framework defaults, and tests that exercise hostile input or unsafe state transitions.
Automation confidence
high confidence from CWE-1051, 4.20.

Official CWE Definition
CWE-1051: Initialization with Hard-Coded Network Resource Configuration Data
The product initializes data using hard-coded values that act as network resource identifiers.
Developer And Remediation Guidance

Causes
- Missing validation
- Unsafe defaults
- Insufficient authorization or memory-safety invariant
Remediation
- Use safe APIs
- Centralize the control
- Add regression tests
- Review logs and telemetry for attempted abuse
Detection
- Code review
- SAST
- DAST
- Focused regression tests
