CWE-1057: Data Access Operations Outside of Expected Data Manager Component
Official CWE-1057 CWE context with Glexia analysis, remediation guidance, related CVEs, and ATT&CK context.
Glexia's Take
CWE-1057: Data Access Operations Outside of Expected Data Manager Component
Data Access Operations Outside of Expected Data Manager Component represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
Executive Impact
- Availability: Reduce Performance: This issue can make the product perform more slowly than intended, since the intended central data manager may have been explicitly optimized for performance or other quality characteristics. If the relevant code is reachable by an attacker, then this performance problem might introduce a vulnerability.
Developer Pattern
CWE-1057 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.
Confidence
high confidence from CWE-1057, 4.20.
Official CWE Definition
CWE-1057: Data Access Operations Outside of Expected Data Manager Component
The product uses a dedicated, central data manager component as required by design, but it contains code that performs data-access operations that do not use this data manager.
