V5303. OWASP. The object was created but it is not being used. The 'throw' keyword could be missing.

Nov 23 2020

The analyzer detected an error related to the fact the instance of the exception class is created, but in doing so, is not used anyway.

Here's an example of incorrect code:

int checkIndex(int index)
{
  if (index < 0)
    new IndexOutOfBoundsException("Index Out Of Bounds!!!");
  return index;
}

int checkIndex(int index)
{
  if (index < 0)
    throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException("Index Out Of Bounds!!!");
  return index;
}

This diagnostic is classified as:
