Definition ∞ An Unexecuted Code Flaw is a programming error or vulnerability present within a smart contract or software application that has not yet been triggered or exploited. This flaw remains dormant until specific conditions are met, at which point it can lead to unintended behavior, security breaches, or system failures. It represents a latent risk.
Context ∞ Unexecuted code flaws pose a persistent threat in decentralized applications, as they can remain undiscovered through initial audits and testing. Continuous monitoring, bug bounty programs, and post-deployment security assessments are essential for identifying and rectifying these hidden vulnerabilities before they can be activated by malicious actors.
