Category: SFP Secondary Cluster: Broken Cryptography
Incomplete
Summary
This category identifies Software Fault Patterns (SFPs) within the Broken Cryptography cluster.
Membership
| ID | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CWE-325 | Missing Cryptographic Step | The product does not implement a required step in a cryptographic algorithm, resulting in weaker encryption than advertised by the algorithm. |
| CWE-327 | Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm | The product uses a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm or protocol. |
| CWE-328 | Use of Weak Hash | The product uses an algorithm that produces a digest (output value) that does not meet security expectations for a hash function that allows an adversary to reasonably determine the original input (preimage attack), find another input that can produce the same hash (2nd preimage attack), or find multiple inputs that evaluate to the same hash (birthday attack). |
| CWE-759 | Use of a One-Way Hash without a Salt | The product uses a one-way cryptographic hash against an input that should not be reversible, such as a password, but the product does not also use a salt as part of the input. |
| CWE-760 | Use of a One-Way Hash with a Predictable Salt | The product uses a one-way cryptographic hash against an input that should not be reversible, such as a password, but the product uses a predictable salt as part of the input. |
| CWE-888 | Software Fault Pattern (SFP) Clusters | CWE identifiers in this view are associated with clusters of Software Fault Patterns (SFPs). |
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.
