ROSLYN.SECURITY.CA2153 : Do Not Catch Corrupted State Exceptions (C#)

See Roslyn-Detected C# Warning Classes for more information.

Summary

Catching corrupted state exceptions could mask errors (such as access violations), resulting in inconsistent state of execution or making it easier for attackers to compromise system. Instead, catch and handle a more specific set of exception type(s) or re-throw the exception.

This check corresponds to Roslyn rule CA2153. For full rule details, see the Microsoft website: CA2153.
