Description: The ‘Feature Misuse’ refers to the exploitation of a function in a system in a way that was not intended by the developers. This phenomenon occurs when an attacker takes advantage of weaknesses in programming logic or function implementation to perform unauthorized or malicious actions. This type of vulnerability can arise in various areas of software, including web applications, operating systems, and network software. Functions can be misused due to coding errors, lack of input validation, or an inadequate understanding of how they are expected to work. Exploiting these vulnerabilities can lead to serious consequences, such as data loss, service disruption, or unauthorized access to sensitive information. Therefore, it is crucial for developers to implement secure coding practices and conduct thorough testing to identify and mitigate these risks before the software is deployed in a production environment.
