Kingdom: Code Quality
Poor code quality leads to unpredictable behavior. From a user's perspective that often manifests itself as poor usability. For an attacker it provides an opportunity to stress the system in unexpected ways.
Portability Flaw: File Separator
Abstract
The use of hardcoded file separators causes portability problems.
Explanation
Different operating systems use different characters as file separators. For example, Microsoft Windows systems use "\", while UNIX systems use "/". When applications have to run on different platforms, the use of hardcoded file separators can lead to incorrect execution of application logic and potentially a denial of service.
Example 1: The following code uses a hardcoded file separator to open a file:
Example 1: The following code uses a hardcoded file separator to open a file:
...
var file:File = new File(directoryName + "\\" + fileName);
