Common Weakness Enumeration

This issue makes it more difficult to maintain the software, which indirectly affects security by making it more difficult or time-consuming to find and/or fix vulnerabilities. It also might make it easier to introduce vulnerabilities.

The table(s) below shows the weaknesses and high level categories that are related to this weakness. These relationships are defined as ChildOf, ParentOf, MemberOf and give insight to similar items that may exist at higher and lower levels of abstraction. In addition, relationships such as PeerOf and CanAlsoBe are defined to show similar weaknesses that the user may want to explore.

Relevant to the view "Research Concepts" (CWE-1000)

Nature	Type	ID	Name
ChildOf	Class - a weakness that is described in a very abstract fashion, typically independent of any specific language or technology. More general than a Base weakness.	710	Improper Adherence to Coding Standards
ParentOf	Variant - a weakness that is described at a very low level of detail, typically limited to a specific language or technology. More specific than a Base weakness.	766	Critical Data Element Declared Public
ParentOf	Base - a weakness that is described in an abstract fashion, but with sufficient details to infer specific methods for detection and prevention. More general than a Variant weakness, but more specific than a Class weakness.	1054	Invocation of a Control Element at an Unnecessarily Deep Horizontal Layer
ParentOf	Base - a weakness that is described in an abstract fashion, but with sufficient details to infer specific methods for detection and prevention. More general than a Variant weakness, but more specific than a Class weakness.	1057	Data Access Operations Outside of Expected Data Manager Component
ParentOf	Base - a weakness that is described in an abstract fashion, but with sufficient details to infer specific methods for detection and prevention. More general than a Variant weakness, but more specific than a Class weakness.	1062	Parent Class with References to Child Class
ParentOf	Base - a weakness that is described in an abstract fashion, but with sufficient details to infer specific methods for detection and prevention. More general than a Variant weakness, but more specific than a Class weakness.	1083	Data Access from Outside Expected Data Manager Component
ParentOf	Base - a weakness that is described in an abstract fashion, but with sufficient details to infer specific methods for detection and prevention. More general than a Variant weakness, but more specific than a Class weakness.	1090	Method Containing Access of a Member Element from Another Class
ParentOf	Base - a weakness that is described in an abstract fashion, but with sufficient details to infer specific methods for detection and prevention. More general than a Variant weakness, but more specific than a Class weakness.	1100	Insufficient Isolation of System-Dependent Functions
ParentOf	Base - a weakness that is described in an abstract fashion, but with sufficient details to infer specific methods for detection and prevention. More general than a Variant weakness, but more specific than a Class weakness.	1105	Insufficient Encapsulation of Machine-Dependent Functionality
