Weakness (CWE)

CWE-662: Improper Synchronization

Class Draft Mapping discouraged

The product utilizes multiple threads, processes, components, or systems to allow temporary access to a shared resource that can only be exclusive to one process at a time, but it does not properly synchronize these actions, which might cause simultaneous accesses of this resource by multiple threads or processes.

More detail

Synchronization mechanisms vary widely, but they may include locking, mutexes, and semaphores.

How to prevent it (1 mitigation)
  1. Implementation

    Use industry standard APIs to synchronize your code.
