CWE-1064: Invokable Control Element with Signature Containing an Excessive Number of Parameters

Export to Word

Description

The product contains a function, subroutine, or method whose signature has an unnecessarily large number of parameters/arguments.

Extended Description

This issue makes it more difficult to understand and/or maintain the product, which indirectly affects security by making it more difficult or time-consuming to find and/or fix vulnerabilities. It also might make it easier to introduce vulnerabilities. While the interpretation of "large number of parameters." may vary for each product or developer, CISQ recommends a default maximum of 7 parameters/arguments.
