Category: CERT C++ Secure Coding Section 10 - Environment (ENV)
Incomplete
Summary
Weaknesses in this category are related to rules in the Environment (ENV) section of the CERT C++ Secure Coding Standard. Since not all rules map to specific weaknesses, this category may be incomplete.
Membership
| ID | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 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-426 | Untrusted Search Path | The product searches for critical resources using an externally-supplied search path that can point to resources that are not under the product's direct control. |
| CWE-462 | Duplicate Key in Associative List (Alist) | Duplicate keys in associative lists can lead to non-unique keys being mistaken for an error. |
| CWE-705 | Incorrect Control Flow Scoping | The product does not properly return control flow to the proper location after it has completed a task or detected an unusual condition. |
| 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-807 | Reliance on Untrusted Inputs in a Security Decision | The product uses a protection mechanism that relies on the existence or values of an input, but the input can be modified by an untrusted actor in a way that bypasses the protection mechanism. |
| CWE-88 | Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command ('Argument Injection') | The product constructs a string for a command to be executed by a separate component in another control sphere, but it does not properly delimit the intended arguments, options, or switches within that command string. |
| CWE-868 | Weaknesses Addressed by the SEI CERT C++ Coding Standard (2016 Version) | CWE entries in this view (graph) are fully or partially eliminated by following the SEI CERT C++ Coding Standard, as published in 2016. This view is no longer being actively maintained, since it statically represents the coding rules as they were in 2016. |
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.
