Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity

CWE-407

An algorithm in a product has an inefficient worst-case computational complexity that may be detrimental to system performance and can be triggered by an attacker, typically using crafted manipulations that ensure that the worst case is being reached.

We track 177 vulnerabilities of this type. 100% are rated high or critical, and the average CVSS score is 7.7.
