Identificar Clases y Métodos Inseguros

Necesidad

Identificar métodos o clases inseguras en Java.

Contexto

A continuación se describen las circunstancias bajo las cuales la siguiente solución tiene sentido:

  1. Se está desarrollando una aplicación en Java.

  2. Se desea evitar el uso de funciones inseguras del lenguaje.

Solución

Cuando se habla de las clases y métodos obsoletos, por lo general, se refiere a las clases y/o métodos que ya no son considerados eficientes o seguros y por tanto, pronto serán eliminados por el desarrollador o fabricante del mismo. Las razones más comunes por las cuales se determina que una clase o método inseguro y/o obsoleto son las siguientes:

  1. La clase o método ha sido sustituida por una alternativa más potente que puede proveer más seguridad y soporte corrigiendo así posibles fallos o vulnerabilidades previamente reportados.

  2. El código contiene uno o varios defectos de diseño que pueden poner en riesgo la seguridad y correcto funcionamiento de las aplicaciones que los usan.

  3. La clase o método es considerado demasiado complejo para su implementación, y por tanto se desea eliminar por una alternativa más simple que realice las mismas funciones.

  4. El desarrollo y puesta en marcha de nuevas versiones del software, haciendo que el uso de características viejas contenidas en el código puedan presentar problemas de compatibilidad o crear posibles problemas de seguridad e implementación.

  5. Cuando se realiza una estandarización de las clases o métodos con el fin de reglamentar la manera en que se deben implementar los mismos.

  6. Cuando se unifican dos o más clases o métodos. Es decir, cuando dos clases o métodos tienen funcionalidades similares o se complementan mutuamente, se suele unirlas con el fin de simplicar su uso y mantenibilidad.

  7. Hay que tener en cuenta que el uso de métodos o clases obsoletas representa un riesgo para la seguridad puesto que, como ya se ha explicado, presentan múltiples errores y, además, es considerado como una de las practicas inadecuadas de programación.

  8. Las siguientes interfaces son consideradas obsoletas.

    interfaces.java
