When a method doesn't match it's ``++super++`` method in visibility (``++public++``, ``++protected++``, ...), malicious callers could take advantage of the over-broad access offered by the child class to undermine the application.
== Noncompliant Code Example
----
public class Parent {
protected void foo() {
//...
}
}
public class Child extends Parent {
public void foo() { // Noncompliant
// ...
super.foo();
}
}
----
== Compliant Solution
----
public class Parent {
protected void foo() {
//...
}
}
public class Child extends Parent {
protected void foo() {
// ...
super.foo();
}
}
