CWE CATEGORY: DEPRECATED: Weaknesses that Affect Files or Directories
Category ID: 632
Summary
This category has been deprecated. It was not actively maintained, and it was not useful to stakeholders. It was originally created before CWE 1.0 as part of view CWE-631, which was a simple example of how views could be structured within CWE.
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.
