Membership
| ID | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CWE-412 | Unrestricted Externally Accessible Lock | The product properly checks for the existence of a lock, but the lock can be externally controlled or influenced by an actor that is outside of the intended sphere of control. |

| CWE-609 | Double-Checked Locking | The product uses double-checked locking to access a resource without the overhead of explicit synchronization, but the locking is insufficient. |
| CWE-667 | Improper Locking | The product does not properly acquire or release a lock on a resource, leading to unexpected resource state changes and behaviors. |
| CWE-820 | Missing Synchronization | The product utilizes a shared resource in a concurrent manner but does not attempt to synchronize access to the resource. |
| CWE-833 | Deadlock | The product contains multiple threads or executable segments that are waiting for each other to release a necessary lock, resulting in deadlock. |
| CWE-844 | Weaknesses Addressed by The CERT Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java (2011) | CWE entries in this view (graph) are fully or partially eliminated by following the guidance presented in the book "The CERT Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java" published in 2011. This view is considered obsolete as a newer version of the coding standard is available. |
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.
