Incomplete Base
Structure: Simple
Description
The code contains a class instance that calls the method or function to delete or destroy itself.
For example, in C++, "delete this" will cause the object to delete itself. This issue can prevent the product from running reliably. If the relevant code is reachable by an attacker, then this reliability problem might introduce a vulnerability.
