View: Weaknesses Originally Used by NVD from 2008 to 2016
Obsolete
Type: Explicit
Objective
CWE nodes in this view (slice) were used by NIST to categorize vulnerabilities within NVD, from 2008 to 2016. This original version has been used by many other projects.
Membership
| ID | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CWE-16 | Configuration | Weaknesses in this category are typically introduced during the configuration of the software. |
| CWE-189 | Numeric Errors | Weaknesses in this category are related to improper calculation or conversion of numbers. |
| CWE-255 | Credentials Management Errors | Weaknesses in this category are related to the management of credentials. |
| CWE-264 | Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls | Weaknesses in this category are related to the management of permissions, privileges, and other security features that are used to perform access control. |
| CWE-310 | Cryptographic Issues | Weaknesses in this category are related to the design and implementation of data confidentiality and integrity. Frequently these deal with the use of encoding techniques, encryption libraries, and hashing algorithms. The weaknesses in this category could lead to a degradation of the quality data if they are not addressed. |
| CWE-399 | Resource Management Errors | Weaknesses in this category are related to improper management of system resources. |
| CWE-119 | Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer | The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data. |
| CWE-134 | Use of Externally-Controlled Format String | The product uses a function that accepts a format string as an argument, but the format string originates from an external source. |
| CWE-20 | Improper Input Validation | The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. |
| CWE-200 | Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor | The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. |
| CWE-22 | Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') | The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. |
| CWE-287 | Improper Authentication | When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct. |
| CWE-362 | Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition') | The product contains a concurrent code sequence that requires temporary, exclusive access to a shared resource, but a timing window exists in which the shared resource can be modified by another code sequence operating concurrently. |
| CWE-59 | Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') | The product attempts to access a file based on the filename, but it does not properly prevent that filename from identifying a link or shortcut that resolves to an unintended resource. |
| CWE-78 | Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') | The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command when it is sent to a downstream component. |
| CWE-79 | Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') | The product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. |
| CWE-89 | Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') | The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data. |
| CWE-94 | Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') | The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. |
| CWE-352 | Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) | The web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor. |

This entry is a View. Views are not weaknesses and therefore inappropriate to describe the root causes of vulnerabilities.
