Export to Word

Description

The code is too complex, as calculated using a well-defined, quantitative measure.

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.
