What is a Common Weakness Enumeration - CWE
CWE stands for Common Weakness Enumeration. It is a community-developed list of software and hardware weakness types that can serve as a common language for describing, sharing, and identifying security vulnerabilities in software systems. CWE aims to provide a standardized way of identifying and categorizing vulnerabilities, making it easier for software developers, testers, and security professionals to discuss and address security issues.
