CWE-275: CWE CATEGORY: Permission Issues is a Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) entry maintained by MITRE. Weaknesses in this category are related to improper assignment or handling of permissions.
A CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) like CWE-275 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.
