The 2024 CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption (CWE-400)

by

CWE-400, also referred to as resource exhaustion, occurs when a system fails to properly manage or limit the use of resources such as CPU, memory, disk space, or network bandwidth. Attackers exploit this weakness to degrade system performance or cause a complete denial of service (DoS).

2024 CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses: Integer Overflow or Wraparound (CWE-190)

by

Integer Overflow occurs when an arithmetic operation attempts to create a numeric value that exceeds the maximum limit of the data type used to store it. Similarly, Integer Wraparound happens when the numeric value “wraps around”, cycling back to the minimum limit.

2024 CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses: Use of Hard-coded Credentials (CWE-798)

by

Hard-coded credentials refer to embedding authentication information such as usernames, passwords, API keys, or cryptographic keys directly into the source code. Developers might do this for convenience, testing, or quick deployment. However, these credentials often remain in production, creating vulnerabilities.
