Weakness (CWE)

CWE-666: Operation on Resource in Wrong Phase of Lifetime

Class Draft Mapping discouraged

The product performs an operation on a resource at the wrong phase of the resource's lifecycle, which can lead to unexpected behaviors.

How to prevent it (2 mitigations)

  1. Architecture and Design

    Follow the resource's lifecycle from creation to release.

  2. Implementation

    For each phase, it is important to follow the specifications outlined for how to operate on the resource and to ensure that the resource is in the expected phase. Otherwise, if a resource is in one phase but the operation is not valid for that phase (i.e., an incorrect phase of the resource's lifetime), then this can produce resultant weaknesses.
