recorded together · two weakness classes
Misconfiguration and Insecure Design and File and Path Handling
9 CVEs
9 CVEs name a weakness of both Misconfiguration and Insecure Design and File and Path Handling, too few to compare with chance. The pairing most often behind it is CWE-1188 (Initialization of a Resource with an Insecure Default) with CWE-22 (Path Traversal), in 2 CVEs.
Every dot is a CVE whose record names a weakness from both classes, neither being the other's parent in the CWE hierarchy. The named ones come first: exploited in the wild, then those with a public check, then the likeliest to be.
- CVEs that carry a weakness of both
- 9
- Chance alone would give
- about 35
- So they are recorded together
- too few CVEs to say
A CVE counts when its record names a weakness from each class, neither being the other's parent. It says the two kinds of flaw are recorded together in one vulnerability more or less often than chance: not that one causes the other, and it follows how the people who file CVEs choose CWEs.
How this is weighed, and the sources
Chance is what the two classes' shares of all CVEs that carry weaknesses of two or more classes would give if weaknesses paired at random. A line is drawn on the dial from 25 CVEs and 1.15 times chance. Weaknesses are the CWEs the CVE List and NVD record; exploitation is CISA KEV, likelihood is EPSS.
