CWE-21: CWE CATEGORY: DEPRECATED: Pathname Traversal and Equivalence Errors

This category has been deprecated. It was originally used for organizing weaknesses involving file names, which enabled access to files outside of a restricted directory (path traversal) or to perform operations on files that would otherwise be restricted (path equivalence). Consider using either the File Handling Issues category ( CWE-1219 ) or the class Use of Incorrectly-Resolved Name or Reference ( CWE-706 ).
