Weakness Name

Excessive Data Query Operations in a Large Data Table

Description

The product performs a data query with a large number of joins and sub-queries on a large data table.

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 "large number of joins or sub-queries" may vary for each product or developer, CISQ recommends a default of 1 million rows for a "large" data table, a default minimum of 5 joins, and a default minimum of 3 sub-queries.

Common Consequences
