CWE-483: Incorrect Block Delimitation
ID
CWE-483
Abstraction
Base
Structure
Simple
Status
Draft
The code does not explicitly delimit a block that is intended to contain 2 or more statements, creating a logic error.
In some languages, braces (or other delimiters) are optional for blocks. When the delimiter is omitted, it is possible to insert a logic error in which a statement is thought to be in a block but is not. In some cases, the logic error can have security implications.
