Duplicate code
Description
The application's source code has duplicate code, which may cause unexpected behaviors.
Impact
- Reduce the maintainability of the code.
- Facilitate the propagation of errors if the duplicate code contains any vulnerability.
Recommendation
Ensure that source code does not have classes, functions or repeated methods.
Threat
Authenticated attacker from the Internet.
Expected Remediation Time
⌚ 15 minutes.

Compliant code
There is no commented out code in the production environment
app.post("/register", function (req, res) {
var username = req.body.username
var password = req.body.password
User.register(new User({ username: username }),
password, function (err, user) {
if (err) {
return res.render("register");
}
});
});
Non compliant code
There is duplicate code with the same functionality in a production stage
app.post("/register", function (req, res) {
var username = req.body.username
var password = req.body.password
User.register(new User({ username: username }),
password, function (err, user) {
if (err) {
return res.render("register");
}
});
});
app.post("/register", function (req, res) {
var username = req.body.username
var password = req.body.password
User.register(new User({ username: username }),
password, function (err, user) {
if (err) {
return res.render("register");
}
});
});
