CWE List (Draft 9)
CWE List (Draft 9)

The Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE™), currently in a very preliminary form, is a list of software weaknesses. Creating the list is a community initiative. Together, these organizations and any others that wish to join the effort, are creating specific and succinct definitions for each of the elements in the CWE List. By leveraging the widest possible group of interests and talents we hope to ensure that the CWE elements are adequately described and differentiated. The next steps are to adequately capture the specific effects, behaviors, exploit mechanisms, and implementation details in the CWE dictionary as well as to review and revise the presentation approaches that will best suit this information.
