CWE-1060: Excessive Number of Inefficient Server-Side Data Accesses
The product performs too many data queries without using efficient data processing functionality such as stored procedures.
View on MITREExtended Description
This issue can make the product perform more slowly due to computational expense. If the relevant code is reachable by an attacker, then this performance problem might introduce a vulnerability. While the interpretation of "too many data queries" may vary for each product or developer, CISQ recommends a default maximum of 5 data queries for an inefficient function/procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is CWE-1060: Excessive Number of Inefficient Server-Side Data Accesses?+
CWE-1060: Excessive Number of Inefficient Server-Side Data Accesses is a Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) entry maintained by MITRE. The product performs too many data queries without using efficient data processing functionality such as stored procedures. This issue can make the product perform more slowly due to computational expense. If the relevant code is reachable by an attacker, then this performance problem might introduce a vulnerability. While the interpretation of "too many data queries" may vary for each product or developer, CISQ recommends a default maximum of 5 data queries for an inefficient function/procedure.
What are the security consequences of Excessive Number of Inefficient Server-Side Data Accesses?+
If exploited, CWE-1060 (Excessive Number of Inefficient Server-Side Data Accesses) it can compromise Other, leading to outcomes such as Reduce Performance.
What is the difference between a CWE and a CVE?+
A CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) like CWE-1060 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.
