CWEs ranked by how often they appear in real CVEs. The rationale describes how this control reduces exploitability of each weakness class.

CWE Name CVEs Why this control addresses it
CWE-502Deserialization of Untrusted Data3,600+Integrity verification of serialized information can detect tampering before deserialization occurs.
CWE-347Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature900+Integrity tools commonly rely on cryptographic signatures whose improper validation this weakness covers.
CWE-345Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity800+Mandates verification of data authenticity for software, firmware, and information.
CWE-494Download of Code Without Integrity Check200+Explicitly detects code or firmware that was obtained or altered without an integrity check.
CWE-354Improper Validation of Integrity Check Value200+Requires use of proper integrity verification tools, reducing the chance an incorrect check value is accepted.
CWE-506Embedded Malicious Code99Unauthorized insertion of malicious code into software or firmware is revealed by integrity monitoring.
CWE-353Missing Support for Integrity Check44Directly supplies the missing integrity verification mechanism the weakness describes.
