CWE
Also called: Common Weakness Enumeration
Common Weakness Enumeration: a MITRE-maintained list of software and hardware weakness types, each with its own ID, describing what kind of mistake causes a vulnerability, such as unvalidated input or a missing authorization check. A CVE is a specific flaw in a product; its CWE is the root-cause type. Development teams can use CWEs to spot recurring mistakes and fix them at the source.
