CWE-1113: Inappropriate Comment Style is a Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) entry maintained by MITRE. The source code uses comment styles or formats that are inconsistent or do not follow expected standards for the product. This issue makes it more difficult to maintain the product due to insufficient legibility, which indirectly affects security by making it more difficult or time-consuming to find and/or fix vulnerabilities. It also might make it easier to introduce vulnerabilities.
A CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) like CWE-1113 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.
