CWE-71: DEPRECATED: Apple '.DS_Store' is a Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) entry maintained by MITRE. This entry has been deprecated as it represents a specific observed example of a UNIX Hard Link weakness type rather than its own individual weakness type. Please refer to CWE-62.
A CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) like CWE-71 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.
