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.

2024 CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses: Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (CWE-119)

by

CWE-119 pertains to scenarios where software operations exceed the allocated memory buffer’s boundaries, leading to buffer overflows. This flaw can result in various adverse consequences, including data corruption, application crashes, and security vulnerabilities exploitable by attackers. A buffer overflow occurs when data written to a memory buffer exceeds its storage capacity, potentially overwriting adjacent memory locations.
