CWE™ is a community-developed list of software and hardware weakness types. It serves as a common language, a measuring stick for security tools, and as a baseline for weakness identification, mitigation, and prevention efforts.

Viewing Customized CWE information

The CWE Team, in collaboration with the CWE/CAPEC User Experience Working Group (UEWG), has updated how users can view Weaknesses to display only those weakness details that are most relevant to them, as noted below. This update replaces the often-overlooked dropdown menu with four new filter options that better reflect the needs of our audience.

These content viewing options are available at the top of each CWE Weakness. Please review the hover text below for a description of each content filter.
