Abstraction: Class
Structure: Simple
View customized information:
+ Description
This entry has been deprecated, as it was not effective as a weakness and was structured more like a category. In addition, the name is inappropriate, since the "container" term is widely understood by developers in different ways than originally intended by PLOVER, the original source for this entry.
+ Notes

Mapping

Use for Mapping: Prohibited (this CWE ID must not be used to map to real-world vulnerabilities).

Rationale: This CWE has been deprecated.

Comments: see description for suggestions of other CWEs to consider.
