Pattern: Unsafe array declaration
Issue: -
Triggers a violation when an array is declared public, final, and static.
In most cases an array declared public, final, and static is a bug. Because arrays are mutable objects, the final constraint requires that the array object itself be assigned only once, but makes no guarantees about the values of the array elements. Since the array is public, a malicious program can change the values stored in the array. In most situations the array should be made private.
Example of violations:
class SomeClass {
public static final String[] someArray = init()
public static final def someArray = [] as String[]
}
