Common Weakness Enumeration
CWE-1072
Weakness ProhibitedData Resource Access without Use of Connection Pooling
Abstraction: Base · Status: Incomplete
The product accesses a data resource through a database without using a connection pooling capability.
Mapping guidance
This entry is primarily a quality issue with no direct security implications.
Look for weaknesses that are focused specifically on insecure behaviors that have more direct security implications.

Automated Static Analysis
Automated static analysis, commonly referred to as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), can find some instances of this weakness by analyzing source code (or binary/compiled code) without having to execute it. Typically, this is done by building a model of data flow and control flow, then searching for potentially-vulnerable patterns that connect "sources" (origins of input) with "sinks" (destinations where the data interacts with external components, a lower layer such as the OS, etc.)

Summary
A System Management Mode (SMM) handler could perform a callout to code located in non-SMM/untrusted memory. A highly privileged attacker could, with active user interaction and under high complexity and present preconditions, trigger execution of attacker-controlled code in SMM, potentially compromising the system’s confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
