113 – Improper type assignation
Description
There are variant variables in the source code, i.e., no specific type is declared for them. This can be inefficient, as it becomes necessary to identify the variable's data type and cast it every time it is used.
Impact
Result in modification of that resource by unintended parties.
Recommendation
Check to see if the resource has insecure permissions (such as being modifiable by any regular user), and generate an error or even exit the software if there is a possibility that the resource could have been modified by an unauthorized party.
Threat
Authenticated external attacker.
