CWEs
Which weakness types show up in our CVE corpus, and which controls address them?
This index covers all 760 CWEs cited by at least one CVE across the NVD records we ingest — split into frequent (434, cited ≥10 times) and rare (326, 1–9 times). Frequent weaknesses link to a detail page with the NIST 800-53 r5 controls that address them (LLM-proposed) and their top CVEs ranked by Risk Priority; rarer ones link out to MITRE. Below the search, the blind spot — 194 live weaknesses no CVE has ever been tagged with.

The blind spot: 194 weaknesses no CVE reports
These are live (non-deprecated) weakness types in the MITRE catalogue that no CVE in our corpus has ever been tagged with. Many are design-level weaknesses NVD analysts rarely reach for — the kind of systemic flaw that never gets its own advisory. Each links to MITRE's canonical definition.

- CWE-607Public Static Final Field References Mutable Object
A public or protected static final field references a mutable object, which allows the object to be changed by malicious code, or accidentally from another package.
- CWE-608Struts: Non-private Field in ActionForm Class
An ActionForm class contains a field that has not been declared private, which can be accessed without using a setter or getter.
- CWE-651Exposure of WSDL File Containing Sensitive Information
The Web services architecture may require exposing a Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) file that contains information on the publicly accessible services and how callers of these services should interact with them (.
- CWE-685Function Call With Incorrect Number of Arguments
The product calls a function, procedure, or routine, but the caller specifies too many arguments, or too few arguments, which may lead to undefined behavior and resultant weaknesses.
- CWE-7J2EE Misconfiguration: Missing Custom Error Page
The default error page of a web application should not display sensitive information about the product.
- CWE-72Improper Handling of Apple HFS+ Alternate Data Stream Path
The product does not properly handle special paths that may identify the data or resource fork of a file on the HFS+ file system.
- CWE-773Missing Reference to Active File Descriptor or Handle
The product does not properly maintain references to a file descriptor or handle, which prevents that file descriptor/handle from being reclaimed.
- CWE-781Improper Address Validation in IOCTL with METHOD_NEITHER I/O Control Code
The product defines an IOCTL that uses METHOD_NEITHER for I/O, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates the addresses that are provided.
- CWE-785Use of Path Manipulation Function without Maximum-sized Buffer
The product invokes a function for normalizing paths or file names, but it provides an output buffer that is smaller than the maximum possible size, such as PATH_MAX.
- CWE-793Only Filtering One Instance of a Special Element
The product receives data from an upstream component, but only filters a single instance of a special element before sending it to a downstream component.
- CWE-796Only Filtering Special Elements Relative to a Marker
The product receives data from an upstream component, but only accounts for special elements positioned relative to a marker (e.g.
- CWE-797Only Filtering Special Elements at an Absolute Position
The product receives data from an upstream component, but only accounts for special elements at an absolute position (e.g.
- CWE-8J2EE Misconfiguration: Entity Bean Declared Remote
When an application exposes a remote interface for an entity bean, it might also expose methods that get or set the bean's data.
- CWE-806Buffer Access Using Size of Source Buffer
The product uses the size of a source buffer when reading from or writing to a destination buffer, which may cause it to access memory that is outside of the bounds of the buffer.
- CWE-831Signal Handler Function Associated with Multiple Signals
The product defines a function that is used as a handler for more than one signal.
- CWE-9J2EE Misconfiguration: Weak Access Permissions for EJB Methods
If elevated access rights are assigned to EJB methods, then an attacker can take advantage of the permissions to exploit the product.
Catalogue summary
Mapped weaknesses by abstraction level. Coverage is heavily concentrated: 63.3% of all 340,103 CVE→CWE tags land on just the top 20 CWEs. A further 14,318 tags point at 41 retired category ids MITRE prohibits for mapping (e.g. CWE-264, CWE-399) — those CVEs carry no usable weakness mapping and are excluded here.

| Variant | 208 |
| Class | 106 |
