CWE-670: Always-Incorrect Control Flow Implementation
ID
CWE-670
Abstraction
Class
Structure
Simple
Status
Draft
Number of CVEs
79
The code contains a control flow path that does not reflect the algorithm that the path is intended to implement, leading to incorrect behavior any time this path is navigated.
This weakness captures cases in which a particular code segment is always incorrect with respect to the algorithm that it is implementing. For example, if a C programmer intends to include multiple statements in a single block but does not include the enclosing braces (CWE-483), then the logic is always incorrect. This issue is in contrast to most weaknesses in which the code usually behaves correctly, except when it is externally manipulated in malicious ways.
Modes of Introduction
| Phase | Note |
|---|---|
| Implementation | This issue typically appears in rarely-tested code, since the "always-incorrect" nature will be detected as a bug during normal usage. |
