A function or method contains too many operations that utilize a data manager or file resource.
View on MITREThis 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. It also might make it easier to introduce vulnerabilities. While the interpretation of "too many operations" may vary for each product or developer, CISQ recommends a default maximum of 7 operations for the same data manager or file.

CWE-1084: Invokable Control Element with Excessive File or Data Access Operations is a Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) entry maintained by MITRE. A function or method contains too many operations that utilize a data manager or file resource. 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. It also might make it easier to introduce vulnerabilities. While the interpretation of "too many operations" may vary for each product or developer, CISQ recommends a default maximum of 7 operations for the same data manager or file.
If exploited, CWE-1084 (Invokable Control Element with Excessive File or Data Access Operations) it can compromise Other, leading to outcomes such as Reduce Maintainability.
A CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) like CWE-1084 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.
