CWE CATEGORY: DEPRECATED: Often Misused: Arguments and Parameters
Category ID: 559
Summary
This entry has been deprecated. It was originally used for organizing the Development View (CWE-699) and some other views, but it introduced unnecessary complexity and depth to the resulting tree.
Vulnerability Mapping Notes
Usage: Prohibited
(this CWE ID must not be used to map to real-world vulnerabilities)
Reasons: Category, Deprecated
Rationale:
This CWE has been deprecated. It is also a Category. Using categories for mapping has been discouraged since 2019. Categories are informal organizational groupings of weaknesses that can help CWE users with data aggregation, navigation, and browsing. However, they are not weaknesses in themselves.
Comments:
See the summary, which might have suggestions for other CWEs to consider.
