CWE-1118: Insufficient Documentation of Error Handling Techniques is a Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) entry maintained by MITRE. The documentation does not sufficiently describe the techniques that are used for error handling, exception processing, or similar mechanisms. Documentation may need to cover error handling techniques at multiple layers, such as module, executable, compilable code unit, or callable.
A CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) like CWE-1118 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.
