"MITRE Publishes the Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses"

The US cybersecurity research organization MITRE has released its list of the top 25 most dangerous software vulnerabilities for 2023, with the top three remaining the same as last year's list. The 2023 Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) list derives from analyzing public vulnerability data in the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) for root cause mappings to CWE weaknesses for the two prior calendar years. An attacker may exploit the vulnerabilities to take control of applications and systems, steal their data, or otherwise interfere with their operation. According to MITRE, this type of trend analysis on vulnerability data enables organizations to make more informed investment and policy decisions concerning vulnerability management. Many professionals who work with software will find this list to be a useful risk mitigation resource. The list is a helpful resource for businesses seeking to strengthen their Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) environments. Despite the existence of vulnerability scanning tools, this list serves as a reminder that even the most widely used products can contain errors. This article continues to discuss MITRE's list of the top 25 most dangerous software weaknesses for 2023.
