NM stub in wall

I know that code says that every splice must be accessible and can't be buried in a wall. this makes sense and every splice I encounter is put into a junction box with a blank plate covering it. but what about live NM that feeds from somewhere and splices to nothing else? (this is called a stub I believe) does that have to be in a junction box too,or can it be taped and buried in the wall?

tnx,
