Category: ICS Dependencies (& Architecture): External Physical Systems
Incomplete
Summary
Weaknesses in this category are related to the "External Physical Systems" category from the SEI ETF "Categories of Security Vulnerabilities in ICS" as published in March 2022: "Due to the highly interconnected technologies in use, an external dependency on another physical system could cause an availability interruption for the protected system." Note: members of this category include "Nearest IT Neighbor" recommendations from the report, as well as suggestions by the CWE team. These relationships are likely to change in future CWE versions.
Membership
| ID | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CWE-1247 | Improper Protection Against Voltage and Clock Glitches | The device does not contain or contains incorrectly implemented circuitry or sensors to detect and mitigate voltage and clock glitches and protect sensitive information or software contained on the device. |
| CWE-1338 | Improper Protections Against Hardware Overheating | A hardware device is missing or has inadequate protection features to prevent overheating. |
| CWE-1357 | Reliance on Insufficiently Trustworthy Component | The product is built from multiple separate components, but it uses a component that is not sufficiently trusted to meet expectations for security, reliability, updateability, and maintainability. |
| CWE-1384 | Improper Handling of Physical or Environmental Conditions | The product does not properly handle unexpected physical or environmental conditions that occur naturally or are artificially induced. |
| CWE-1358 | Weaknesses in SEI ETF Categories of Security Vulnerabilities in ICS | CWE entries in this view (graph) are associated with the Categories of Security Vulnerabilities in ICS, as published by the Securing Energy Infrastructure Executive Task Force (SEI ETF) in March 2022. Weaknesses and categories in this view are focused on issues that affect ICS (Industrial Control Systems) but have not been traditionally covered by CWE in the past due to its earlier emphasis on enterprise IT software. Note: weaknesses in this view are based on "Nearest IT Neighbor" recommendations and other suggestions by the CWE team. These relationships are likely to change in future CWE versions. |
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.
