Frequently Asked Questions

What is CWE-1110: Incomplete Design Documentation?+

CWE-1110: Incomplete Design Documentation is a Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) entry maintained by MITRE. The product's design documentation does not adequately describe control flow, data flow, system initialization, relationships between tasks, components, rationales, or other important aspects of the design.

What is the difference between a CWE and a CVE?+

A CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) like CWE-1110 describes a category of software weakness — the underlying flaw type. A CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) identifies a specific, real-world vulnerability in a particular product. In short, a CWE is the kind of mistake, and a CVE is an instance of that mistake being found in software.
