CWE-700: CWE VIEW: Seven Pernicious Kingdoms — MITRE CWECWE-700: CWE VIEW: Seven Pernicious Kingdoms is a Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) entry maintained by MITRE. Usage: PROHIBITED (this CWE ID must not be used to map to real-world vulnerabilities)
A CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) like CWE-700 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.
