Glexia's Take · Automated analysis
CWE-1072: Data Resource Access without Use of Connection Pooling
Data Resource Access without Use of Connection Pooling represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
Executive Impact
- Other: Reduce Performance: This issue can make the product perform more slowly, as connection pools allow connections to be reused without the overhead and time consumption of opening and closing a new connection. If the relevant code is reachable by an attacker, then this performance problem might introduce a vulnerability.
Developer Pattern
CWE-1072 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-1072, 4.20.
Generated from the cited source records. This long-tail analysis has not been individually reviewed by a named human.
Official CWE Definition
CWE-1072: Data Resource Access without Use of Connection Pooling
The product accesses a data resource through a database without using a connection pooling capability.
