Category: Documentation Issues
Draft
Summary
Weaknesses in this category are related to the documentation provided to support, create, or analyze a product.
Membership
| ID | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CWE-1053 | Missing Documentation for Design | The product does not have documentation that represents how it is designed. |
| CWE-1068 | Inconsistency Between Implementation and Documented Design | The implementation of the product is not consistent with the design as described within the relevant documentation. |
| CWE-1110 | Incomplete Design Documentation | The product's design documentation does not adequately describe control flow, data flow, system initialization, relationships between tasks, components, rationales, or other important aspects of the design. |
| CWE-1111 | Incomplete I/O Documentation | The product's documentation does not adequately define inputs, outputs, or system/software interfaces. |
| CWE-1112 | Incomplete Documentation of Program Execution | The document does not fully define all mechanisms that are used to control or influence how product-specific programs are executed. |
| CWE-1118 | Insufficient Documentation of Error Handling Techniques | The documentation does not sufficiently describe the techniques that are used for error handling, exception processing, or similar mechanisms. |
| CWE-699 | Software Development | This view organizes weaknesses around concepts that are frequently used or encountered in software development. This includes all aspects of the software development lifecycle including both architecture and implementation. Accordingly, this view can align closely with the perspectives of architects, developers, educators, and assessment vendors. It provides a variety of categories that are intended to simplify navigation, browsing, and mapping. |
Vulnerability Mapping Notes
Usage: Prohibited
Reasons: Category
Rationale:
This entry is a Category. Using categories for mapping has been discouraged since 2019. Categories are informal organizational groupings of weaknesses that can help CWE users with data aggregation, navigation, and browsing. However, they are not weaknesses in themselves.
