Vulnerability Mapping Notes Usage: PROHIBITED (this CWE ID must not be used to map to real-world vulnerabilities) | Reason: Category | Rationale: This entry is 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 member weaknesses of this category. |
