  • CWE-427•Uncontrolled Search Path Element

    The product uses a fixed or controlled search path to find resources, but one or more locations in that path can be under the control of unintended actors.

  • CWE-310•Cryptographic Issues

    Weaknesses in this category are related to the design and implementation of data confidentiality and integrity. Frequently these deal with the use of encoding techniques, encryption libraries, and hashing algorithms. The weaknesses in this category could lead to a degradation of the quality data if they are not addressed.
