Vulnerability Mapping Notes

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.
Comments : Consider mapping to weaknesses that are members of this Category.
