Description

Also note that this CWE is not listed in [CodeQL's CWE coverage](https://codeql.github.com/codeql-query-help/full-cwe/) page in the docs.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by comparing the CodeQL alert mapping for CWE-730 with MITRE's definition and prohibition notice. Then inspect the CodeQL CWE coverage documentation to determine how the mapping is represented. Done means prohibited CWE-730 is no longer mapped to alerts and the documented coverage is consistent.
