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();
  }
}
