# gunicorn — CWE-407 Scan: CLEAN
**Date:** 2026-03-27
**Scope:** Full Python codebase (`gunicorn/`)
## Findings
No CWE-407 defects confirmed.
### Patterns examined
| Location | Pattern | Verdict |
|----------|---------|---------|
| `gunicorn/util.py:hop_headers` | `header.lower().strip() in hop_headers` | CLEAN — `hop_headers` is a `frozenset` (O(1)) |
| `gunicorn/http/message.py:parse_headers` | `name in forwarder_headers` inside header loop | BOUNDED — `forwarder_headers` is a list but default length is 2 ("SCRIPT_NAME,PATH_INFO"); not exploitable |
| `gunicorn/http/message.py:secure_scheme_headers` | `name in secure_scheme_headers` inside header loop | CLEAN — `secure_scheme_headers` is a `dict` (O(1)) |
| `gunicorn/arbiter.py:WORKERS` | worker management | CLEAN — `WORKERS` is a `dict` keyed by PID |
| `gunicorn/http2/stream.py` | HTTP/2 stream state | CLEAN — simple state machine, no list-based membership |
| `gunicorn/http2/connection.py` | `headers` list iteration | CLEAN — single-pass iteration, no inner scan |
| `gunicorn/config.py` | config validation | CLEAN — all O(1) structures or bounded lists |
## Conclusion
Gunicorn uses appropriate data structures throughout hot paths. The
`forwarder_headers` list is user-controlled and defaults to 2 elements,
making any quadratic component negligible in practice.

# UNDF: UNDF-2026-000000401
# hibernate-0006: AbstractEntityPersister — O(T²) alias dedup in subclass property closure
## CWE-407 — Algorithmic Complexity: Linear Membership Test in Loop
| Field | Value |
|--------------|-------|
| ID | hibernate-0006 |
| Severity | MEDIUM |
| Ecosystem | hibernate-orm |
| Package | hibernate-core |
| File | `hibernate-core/src/main/java/org/hibernate/persister/entity/AbstractEntityPersister.java` |
| Lines | 665709 |
| Complexity | O(T²) where T = total columns across subclass property closure |
| Fix | Replace `ArrayList<String>` with `LinkedHashSet<String>` for alias dedup |
## Defective Code
```java
// Lines 665-709 in AbstractEntityPersister constructor
final ArrayList<String> aliases = new ArrayList<>(); // O(N) contains
final ArrayList<String> formulaAliases = new ArrayList<>(); // O(N) contains
for (var prop : persistentClass.getSubclassPropertyClosure()) { // outer: O(P properties)
...
for (int i = 0; i < selectables.size(); i++) { // inner: O(C columns/prop)
...
final String columnAlias = selectable.getAlias(...);
if (prop.isSelectable() && !aliases.contains(columnAlias)) { // O(T) — CWE-407
aliases.add(columnAlias);
}
...
final String formulaAlias = selectable.getAlias(dialect);
if (prop.isSelectable() && !formulaAliases.contains(formulaAlias)) { // O(F) — CWE-407
formulaAliases.add(formulaAlias);
}
}
}
subclassColumnAliasClosure = toStringArray(aliases);
subclassFormulaAliasClosure = toStringArray(formulaAliases);
```
**Pattern:** For each column selectable (total T across all subclass properties), calls
`ArrayList.contains()` on a list that grows to size T. Total cost: **O(T²)**.
For table-per-hierarchy (TPH) inheritance with many subclasses (e.g., 50 subclasses × 20
columns each = 1000 total selectables), this creates a 1,000,000 operation dedup phase
during `SessionFactory` startup.
## Complexity Table
| T (total subclass columns) | Operations (before) | Operations (after) |
|---------------------------|---------------------|-------------------|
| 100 | ~10,000 | ~100 |
| 500 | ~250,000 | ~500 |
| 1,000 | ~1,000,000 | ~1,000 |
Speedup ratio: **~1000x** at T=1000.
## Fix
```java
// hibernate-0006 fix: LinkedHashSet for O(1) contains() + insertion-order preservation.
// Previously ArrayList<String>: each aliases.contains() is O(T) in a loop over T columns
// → O(T²) total. LinkedHashSet.add() is O(1) amortized and handles dedup automatically.
final LinkedHashSet<String> aliases = new LinkedHashSet<>();
final LinkedHashSet<String> formulaAliases = new LinkedHashSet<>();
for (var prop : persistentClass.getSubclassPropertyClosure()) {
...
for (int i = 0; i < selectables.size(); i++) {
...
if (selectable instanceof Formula) {
...
if (prop.isSelectable()) {
formulaAliases.add(formulaAlias); // O(1) — dedup handled by set
}
}
else if (selectable instanceof Column column) {
...
if (prop.isSelectable()) {
aliases.add(columnAlias); // O(1) — dedup handled by set
}
}
}
}
subclassColumnAliasClosure = toStringArray(new ArrayList<>(aliases));
subclassFormulaAliasClosure = toStringArray(new ArrayList<>(formulaAliases));
```

## Confirmed New Defects This Session
- **hibernate-0006**: `AbstractEntityPersister` subclass alias closure O(T²) — patched
## Summary
Hibernate ORM scan is comprehensive through hibernate-0006. The remaining contains() calls
are on properly-typed Set/HashSet/LinkedHashSet fields or are in low-frequency validation paths
with trivially small N. No further HIGH/MEDIUM defects found beyond what has been reported.

# hypercorn — CWE-407 Scan: CLEAN
**Date:** 2026-03-27
**Scope:** Full Python codebase (`src/hypercorn/`)
## Findings
No CWE-407 defects confirmed.
### Patterns examined
| Location | Pattern | Verdict |
|----------|---------|---------|
| `hypercorn/utils.py:filter_pseudo_headers` | single-pass over headers list | CLEAN — O(H), no inner scan |
| `hypercorn/utils.py:build_and_validate_headers` | single-pass over headers list | CLEAN — O(H), no inner scan |
| `hypercorn/protocol/http_stream.py:160,206,232` | `for name, value in scope["headers"]` with `break` | CLEAN — O(H) early-exit scans, not nested |
| `hypercorn/protocol/h2.py` | HTTP/2 stream management via `dict[int, stream]` | CLEAN — dict-keyed by stream_id, O(1) lookup |
| `hypercorn/middleware/dispatcher.py` | `for path, app in self.mounts.items()` | CLEAN — mount table is small and bounded |
| `hypercorn/config.py:response_headers` | `for alt_svc_header in self.alt_svc_headers` | CLEAN — alt_svc_headers bounded (1-2 entries typical) |
## Conclusion
Hypercorn uses single-pass header iterations throughout and relies on dicts
for stream management. No quadratic patterns found.

# linux: CWE-407 deeper scan — net/core, kernel/ CLEAN
## Subsystems scanned
| Subsystem | Files | Verdict |
|-----------|-------|---------|
| `net/core/dev.c` | for_each_netdev, adjacency lists | CLEAN |
| `net/core/fib_rules.c` | rule_find, rule_exists, list_for_each_entry | CLEAN |
| `net/core/sock.c` | proto_register, assign_proto_idx | CLEAN |
| `kernel/groups.c` | groups_search, supplementary GIDs | CLEAN |
| `kernel/user_namespace.c` | mappings_overlap, uid/gid extents | BOUNDED |
| `kernel/sched/topology.c` | find_pd, for_each_cpu perf domains | CLEAN |
| `kernel/sched/core.c` | for_each_cpu + smt_mask, cpumask_andnot | CLEAN |
| `kernel/workqueue.c` | for_each_pwq, for_each_pool | CLEAN |
| `kernel/notifier.c` | raw_notifier_call_chain | CLEAN |
## Notes
### net/core/dev.c — `__dev_alloc_name`
Outer `for_each_netdev` with inner `netdev_for_each_altname` scans a bitmap of
used slots — sets a bit per slot using `bitmap_zalloc(max_netdevices)`.
Not a membership test inside a growing list; the bitmap is reset fresh each call.
CLEAN.
### net/core/fib_rules.c — `rule_find`, `rule_exists`
Both do a single sequential pass over `ops->rules_list`. The three sequential
passes in `fib_nl_newrule` (ctarget scan, pref-order scan, unresolved-rules
update) are not nested — each is O(R) standalone. CLEAN.
### kernel/user_namespace.c — `mappings_overlap`
Called in outer loop over lines in the UID/GID map file; inner loop checks
overlap against already-accepted extents. **Technically O(E²)** but bounded by
`UID_GID_MAP_MAX_EXTENTS = 340`. Peak: 340² = 115,600 comparisons on one
`write()` call. Not network-facing; attacker must have a user namespace.
Below threshold for a new defect ticket; noted here for completeness.
### kernel/sched/topology.c — `find_pd`
`find_pd()` walks a short linked list of `perf_domain` objects (O(P), where P =
number of distinct CPU performance domains — typically 14 on real hardware)
inside `for_each_cpu(i, cpu_map)`. Worst case O(C×P) but P is structurally
bounded by hardware topology, not attacker-controlled. CLEAN.
### net/ipv4/, fs/, mm/ — NOT IN SPARSE CLONE
The sparse clone does not include `net/ipv4/`, `fs/`, or `mm/`. Those
subsystems require a fresh clone or broader sparse-checkout configuration.
## Conclusion
No new CWE-407 defects found in the scanned kernel subsystems beyond
linux-0001..0008. The sparse clone limits further scanning of `net/ipv4/`,
`fs/`, and `mm/`.

# openssl-0004: CWE-407 O(N²) CA name dedup in SSL_add_store_cert_subjects_to_stack
## Severity: MEDIUM
## Location
`ssl/ssl_cert.c``add_uris_recursive()` called from `SSL_add_store_cert_subjects_to_stack()`
## Description
`SSL_add_store_cert_subjects_to_stack()` loads CA subject names from a URI store
(e.g., a PKCS#11 token or directory) and deduplicates them into a
`STACK_OF(X509_NAME)`. It calls `add_uris_recursive()` for the actual loading.
`add_uris_recursive()` contains this pattern:
```c
while (!OSSL_STORE_eof(ctx) && !OSSL_STORE_error(ctx)) {
...
if (sk_X509_NAME_find(stack, xn) >= 0) { /* O(N) linear scan */
/* Duplicate */
X509_NAME_free(xn);
} else if (!sk_X509_NAME_push(stack, xn)) {
...
}
}
```
`sk_X509_NAME_find()` calls `internal_find()`. When the stack is **unsorted**
(which it is here — `add_uris_recursive` never calls `sk_X509_NAME_sort()`),
`internal_find()` falls through to a linear scan:
```c
if (!st->sorted) {
for (i = 0; i < st->num; i++) {
cmp_ret = cmp_with_thunk(st, &data, st->data + i);
if (cmp_ret == 0) { ... return i; }
}
return -1;
}
```
Each call is O(N). Loading N certificates from the store requires N such calls,
giving **O(N²)** total comparisons.
By contrast, both `SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack` and
`SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack` received an explicit LHASH fix (visible in
the same file) that pre-populates an `LHASH_OF(X509_NAME)` for O(1) duplicate
detection. `SSL_add_store_cert_subjects_to_stack` was left behind.
## Complexity Before Fix
| N (CA certs in store) | Comparisons (O(N²)) |
|-----------------------|---------------------|
| 100 | ~5,050 |
| 500 | ~125,250 |
| 1,000 | ~500,500 |
| 5,000 | ~12,502,500 |
Each comparison calls `xname_sk_cmp → X509_NAME_cmp → X509_NAME_cmp_ex`
which allocates and DER-encodes the name — making each O(N) scan carry
non-trivial constant work beyond the raw count.
## Fix
Pass an `LHASH_OF(X509_NAME)` into `add_uris_recursive()` just as
`SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack` does for the per-file helper, replacing
`sk_X509_NAME_find()` with `lh_X509_NAME_retrieve()`.

## Complexity After Fix
O(N) total — each name is hashed once (O(1) amortized) during insertion.
`lh_X509_NAME_retrieve` is O(1) amortized.

# UNDF: UNDF-2026-000000400
# spring-0006: VersionResourceResolver — O(N²) patternsList.contains() in addFixedVersionStrategy()
## CWE-407 — Algorithmic Complexity: Linear Membership Test in Loop
| Field | Value |
|--------------|-------|
| ID | spring-0006 |
| Severity | MEDIUM |
| Ecosystem | spring-framework |
| Package | spring-webmvc |
| File | `spring-webmvc/src/main/java/org/springframework/web/servlet/resource/VersionResourceResolver.java` |
| Lines | 130141 |
| Complexity | O(N²) where N = pathPatterns.length |
| Fix | Convert `patternsList` to `HashSet<String>` for O(1) membership check |
## Defective Code
```java
// Line 130-141: VersionResourceResolver.addFixedVersionStrategy()
public VersionResourceResolver addFixedVersionStrategy(String version, String... pathPatterns) {
List<String> patternsList = Arrays.asList(pathPatterns); // O(N) list
List<String> prefixedPatterns = new ArrayList<>(pathPatterns.length);
String versionPrefix = "/" + version;
for (String pattern : patternsList) { // outer loop: O(N)
prefixedPatterns.add(pattern);
if (!pattern.startsWith(versionPrefix) && !patternsList.contains(versionPrefix + pattern)) {
// ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ O(N) scan — CWE-407
prefixedPatterns.add(versionPrefix + pattern);
}
}
return addVersionStrategy(new FixedVersionStrategy(version), StringUtils.toStringArray(prefixedPatterns));
}
```
**Pattern:** `for (x : list) { list.contains(y) }` — inner `contains()` is O(N) on
`Arrays.asList()` backed array. Outer loop is O(N). Total: **O(N²)**.
Triggered at application startup / configuration time when configuring versioned resource
resolvers (common in Spring MVC static resource handling). Large Spring apps with many
path patterns suffer quadratic cost.
## Complexity Table
| N (pathPatterns) | Operations (before) | Operations (after) |
|-----------------|---------------------|-------------------|
| 10 | ~100 | ~10 |
| 100 | ~10,000 | ~100 |
| 1,000 | ~1,000,000 | ~1,000 |
Speedup ratio: **~N×** — 100x at N=100, 1000x at N=1000.
## Fix
```java
public VersionResourceResolver addFixedVersionStrategy(String version, String... pathPatterns) {
// spring-0006 fix: HashSet for O(1) membership check.
// Previously Arrays.asList() returned a plain List — patternsList.contains() was O(N).
// With N patterns, the loop called contains() N times = O(N²) total.
Set<String> patternsSet = new HashSet<>(Arrays.asList(pathPatterns));
List<String> prefixedPatterns = new ArrayList<>(pathPatterns.length * 2);
String versionPrefix = "/" + version;
for (String pattern : pathPatterns) {
prefixedPatterns.add(pattern);
if (!pattern.startsWith(versionPrefix) && !patternsSet.contains(versionPrefix + pattern)) {
prefixedPatterns.add(versionPrefix + pattern);
}
}
return addVersionStrategy(new FixedVersionStrategy(version), StringUtils.toStringArray(prefixedPatterns));
}

# uvicorn — CWE-407 Scan: CLEAN
**Date:** 2026-03-27
**Scope:** Full Python codebase (`uvicorn/`)
## Findings
No CWE-407 defects confirmed.
### Patterns examined
| Location | Pattern | Verdict |
|----------|---------|---------|
| `uvicorn/middleware/proxy_headers.py:_TrustedHosts` | trusted host lookup | CLEAN — uses `set[ipaddress.IPv4Address]`, `set[ipaddress.IPv6Address]`, and `set[str]` for O(1) membership |
| `uvicorn/protocols/http/httptools_impl.py:479` | `CLOSE_HEADER in headers` (list) | NOT O(n²) — single linear scan once per response, not in an outer loop |
| `uvicorn/protocols/http/h11_impl.py:476` | `CLOSE_HEADER in headers` (list) | NOT O(n²) — same as above |
| `uvicorn/protocols/http/httptools_impl.py:145` | `for name, value in self.headers` | CLEAN — single-pass, no inner membership scan |
| `uvicorn/protocols/websockets/` | WebSocket protocol handling | CLEAN — no nested loops with membership tests |
## Conclusion
Uvicorn correctly uses sets for trusted-host membership tests and performs
only single-pass header iterations on hot paths.

# uwsgi-0001: HTTP Header Duplicate Detection O(H²) — CWE-407
**Severity:** HIGH
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
**Component:** uWSGI HTTP request parser — header deduplication
**Affected files:**
- `proto/http.c:417`
- `plugins/http/http.c:778`
- `plugins/http/spdy3.c:207`
---
## Defect
When parsing incoming HTTP/SPDY request headers, uWSGI builds a linked list
(`uwsgi_string_list`) of seen header names to detect duplicates (RFC 7230:
combine same-name headers with `, `). For each header H_i parsed, it calls
`uwsgi_string_list_has_item()` which does a linear walk of all previously
seen headers:
```c
// proto/http.c:417 (same pattern in http.c:778 and spdy3.c:207)
usl = uwsgi_string_list_has_item(headers, base, key_len);
```
`uwsgi_string_list_has_item` (core/strings.c):
```c
struct uwsgi_string_list *uwsgi_string_list_has_item(
struct uwsgi_string_list *list, char *key, size_t keylen) {
struct uwsgi_string_list *usl = list;
while (usl) { // O(H) walk
if (keylen == usl->len) {
if (!memcmp(key, usl->value, keylen)) {
return usl;
}
}
usl = usl->next;
}
return NULL;
}
```
Outer loop: H headers, each triggers an O(H) scan → **O(H²) total**.
An attacker or a proxy that sends many HTTP headers (e.g. many `Cookie:`,
`Accept-Encoding:`, `X-Custom-*:` lines) causes quadratic CPU work in the
uWSGI worker parsing the request.
---
## Complexity
| N (headers) | Operations (defect) | Operations (fix) |
|-------------|---------------------|------------------|
| 10 | 55 | 10 |
| 50 | 1,275 | 50 |
| 100 | 5,050 | 100 |
| 200 | 20,100 | 200 |
| 500 | 125,250 | 500 |
Speedup at H=500: **250x**.
---
## Fix
Replace the linked-list dedup scan with a small open-address hash table
keyed on (normalised) header name. Since HTTP header count is bounded by
`limit-request-fields` (default 100, max ~100), a fixed-size hash table
with 256 slots suffices.
```c
// Fixed: use a stack-allocated hash map for O(1) lookup
#define HDR_HASH_SIZE 256
#define HDR_HASH_MASK (HDR_HASH_SIZE - 1)
struct hdr_entry { char *key; size_t len; struct uwsgi_string_list *usl; };
struct hdr_entry hdr_map[HDR_HASH_SIZE];
memset(hdr_map, 0, sizeof(hdr_map));
// For each parsed header:
uint32_t slot = fnv1a(base, key_len) & HDR_HASH_MASK;
// linear probe on collision (collision rate low for realistic header counts)
while (hdr_map[slot].key) {
if (hdr_map[slot].len == key_len &&
!memcmp(hdr_map[slot].key, base, key_len)) {
usl = hdr_map[slot].usl; // found duplicate
break;
}
slot = (slot + 1) & HDR_HASH_MASK;
}
if (!usl) {
// new header — add to list and record in hash map
usl = uwsgi_string_new_list(&headers, NULL);
hdr_map[slot].key = base;
hdr_map[slot].len = key_len;
hdr_map[slot].usl = usl;
}
```
All three affected files (`proto/http.c`, `plugins/http/http.c`,
`plugins/http/spdy3.c`) require the same fix within their respective
header-parsing loops.

# waitress — CWE-407 Scan: CLEAN
**Date:** 2026-03-27
**Scope:** Full Python codebase (`src/waitress/`)
## Findings
No CWE-407 defects confirmed.
### Patterns examined
| Location | Pattern | Verdict |
|----------|---------|---------|
| `waitress/parser.py:parse_headers` | `key1 in headers` — duplicate singleton detection | CLEAN — `self.headers` is a `dict`, membership is O(1) |
| `waitress/task.py:build_response_header` | `for headername, headerval in self.response_headers` | CLEAN — single-pass, no inner membership scan during the loop |
| `waitress/task.py:set_close_on_finish` | iterates `response_headers` for "Connection" header | NOT O(n²) — called at most 2-3 times per response *after* the main loop completes, not inside it |
| `waitress/server.py:active_channels` | channel management | CLEAN — `active_channels` is a `dict` |
| `waitress/task.py:ThreadedTaskDispatcher` | thread management | CLEAN — `threads` is a `set` |
| `waitress/proxy_headers.py` | proxy header parsing | CLEAN — linear passes only, no nested scans |
## Conclusion
Waitress uses dicts for all hot-path lookup structures. The response header
list in `task.py` is iterated linearly without nested membership tests.
