CWE-1041: CWE-1041: Use of Redundant Code is a Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) entry maintained by MITRE. Description
If exploited, CWE-1041 (CWE-1041: Use of Redundant Code) it can compromise Reduce Maintainability, leading to outcomes such as Scope: Other This issue makes it more difficult to maintain the product, which indirectly affects security by making it more difficult or time-consuming to find and/or fix vulnerabilities. For example, if there are two copies of the same code and the programmer might fix a weakness in one copy while forgetting to fix the same weakness in another copy..
Recommended mitigations for CWE-1041 include: Merge common functionality into a single function and then call that function from across the entire code base.
CWE-1041 commonly affects Languages. Note that weaknesses are often language-agnostic patterns, so secure coding practices apply broadly.
A CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) like CWE-1041 describes a category of software weakness — the underlying flaw type. A CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) identifies a specific, real-world vulnerability in a particular product. In short, a CWE is the kind of mistake, and a CVE is an instance of that mistake being found in software.
