CWE-1094: Excessive Index Range Scan for a Data Resource
The product contains an index range scan for a large data table, but the scan can cover a large number of rows.
View on MITREExtended Description
This issue can make the product perform more slowly. If the relevant code is reachable by an attacker, then this performance problem might introduce a vulnerability. While the interpretation of "large data table" and "excessive index range" may vary for each product or developer, CISQ recommends a threshold of 1000000 table rows and a threshold of 10 for the index range.

What is the difference between a CWE and a CVE?+
A CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) like CWE-1094 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.
