Mapping
Use for Mapping: Prohibited (this CWE ID must not be used to map to real-world vulnerabilities).
Rationale: this entry is a Category. Using categories for mapping has been an actively discouraged practice since at least 2019. Categories are informal organizational groupings of weaknesses that help navigation and browsing by CWE users, but they are not weaknesses in themselves.
Comments: See member weaknesses of this category.
Maintenance
As of CWE 4.6, the relationships in this category were pulled directly from the CWE mappings cited in the 2021 OWASP Top Ten. These mappings include categories, which are discouraged for mapping. The CWE Program will work with OWASP to improve these mappings, possibly requiring modifications to CWE itself.
