CWE-1096Singleton Class Instance Creation without Proper Locking or Synchronization
Category: logic
Description
The product implements a Singleton design pattern but does not use appropriate locking or other synchronization mechanism to ensure that the singleton class is only instantiated once.
Common consequences· 1
- Other — Reduce ReliabilityThis issue can prevent the product from running reliably, e.g. by making the instantiation process non-thread-safe and introducing deadlock (CWE-833) or livelock conditions. If the relevant code is reachable by an attacker, then this reliability problem might introduce a vulnerability.
