Weakness (CWE)

CWE-410: Insufficient Resource Pool

Class Incomplete

The product's resource pool is not large enough to handle peak demand.

How to prevent it (5 mitigations)
  1. Architecture and Design

    Do not perform resource-intensive transactions for unauthenticated users and/or invalid requests.

  2. Architecture and Design

    Consider implementing a velocity check mechanism which would detect abusive behavior.

  3. Operation

    Consider load balancing as an option to handle heavy loads.

  4. Implementation

    Make sure that resource handles are properly closed when no longer needed.

  5. Architecture and Design

    Identify the system's resource intensive operations and consider protecting them from abuse (e.g. malicious automated script which runs the resources out).
