CWE-572Call to Thread run() instead of start()
Category: other
Description
The product calls a thread's run() method instead of calling start(), which causes the code to run in the thread of the caller instead of the callee.
In most cases a direct call to a Thread object's run() method is a bug. The programmer intended to begin a new thread of control, but accidentally called run() instead of start(), so the run() method will execute in the caller's thread of control.
