CWE-3: CWE CATEGORY: DEPRECATED: Technology-specific Environment Issues is a Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) entry maintained by MITRE. This category has been deprecated. It was originally intended as a "catch-all" for environment issues for technologies that did not have their own CWE, but it introduced unnecessary depth and complexity to the Development View ( CWE-699 ).
A CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) like CWE-3 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.
