There is a statement or branch within a catch block which, if executed, guarantees that the variable accessed at this point will be null, unless a runtime exception is thrown (for any reason) before the access.
try {
// ...
} catch (...) {
// ...
value = null; // Value set to null within a catch block
// ...
}
// possibly within another catch block
value.member += 1; // This is guaranteed to fail with a NPE.
Check usages of the concerned value and ensure that any unchecked usages are corrected.
