Description
The code uses boxed primitives, which may introduce inefficiencies into performance-critical operations.
Modes of Introduction:
– Implementation
Related Weaknesses
Consequences
Availability: DoS: Resource Consumption (CPU), DoS: Resource Consumption (Memory), DoS: Resource Consumption (Other), Reduce Performance
Incorrect autoboxing/unboxing would result in reduced performance, which sometimes can lead to resource consumption issues.
Potential Mitigations
Phase: Implementation
Description:
Use of boxed primitives should be limited to certain situations such as when calling methods with typed parameters. Examine the use of boxed primitives prior to use. Use SparseArrays or ArrayMap instead of HashMap to avoid performance overhead.
