CWE-1060: Excessive Number of Inefficient Server-Side Data Accesses
Description
The product performs too many data queries without using efficient data processing functionality such as stored procedures.
While the interpretation of too many data queries may vary for each product or developer, CISQ recommends a default maximum of 5 data queries for an inefficient function/procedure.
