Usage: PROHIBITED
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 [REF-1287]. This CWE ID may have become widely-used because of NIST's usage in NVD from 2008 to 2016 (see CWE-635 view, updated to the CWE-1003 view in 2016).Comments:
Some weakness-oriented alternatives might be found under Improper Authentication (CWE-287) or keyword searches for credentials.| Submissions | |||
