The product implements a protection mechanism that relies on a list of inputs (or properties of inputs) that are not allowed by policy or otherwise require other action to neutralize before additional processing takes place, but the list is incomplete.
The product compares two entities in a security-relevant context, but the comparison is incorrect, which may lead to resultant weaknesses.
