Summary
This category identifies Software Fault Patterns (SFPs) within the Insecure Resource Permissions cluster.
Membership
| ID | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CWE-276 | Incorrect Default Permissions | During installation, installed file permissions are set to allow anyone to modify those files. |
| CWE-277 | Insecure Inherited Permissions | A product defines a set of insecure permissions that are inherited by objects that are created by the program. |

| CWE-732 | Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource | The product specifies permissions for a security-critical resource in a way that allows that resource to be read or modified by unintended actors. |

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.
