Common Weakness Enumeration

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) is a standardized list that identifies and categorizes common security flaws in software and systems. It helps developers, security professionals, and organizations understand typical vulnerabilities, such as data leaks or system crashes, so they can better prevent or fix them. Think of it as a reference guide that makes it easier to recognize and solve security issues across different technologies and projects, ultimately improving software safety and resilience.
