In 2022, the most important software weakness discovered through static analysis of all development languages worldwide was found to be in CRLF injection, representing nearly 65 percent of the flaws. Cryptographic issues and information leakage constituted other commonly discovered flaws, reaching each around 60 percent of the flaws. Static analysis is a method of computer program debugging, completed by examining the code without executing the program. This is the reasons why static analysis requires a high understanding of code structure.
