Weakness (CWE)

CWE-506: Embedded Malicious Code

Class Incomplete

The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.

How to prevent it (1 mitigation)
  1. Implementation, Operation

    Remove the malicious code and start an effort to ensure that no more malicious code exists. This may require a detailed review of all code, as it is possible to hide a serious attack in only one or two lines of code. These lines may be located almost anywhere in an application and may have been intentionally obfuscated by the attacker.
