On June 28, the Common Weakness Enumeration<\/a> team announced the release of 2022\u2019s Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses list. Out-of-bounds writes, cross-site scripting<\/a> (XSS), and SQL injection<\/a> are among this year\u2019s CWE Top 25 vulnerabilities.<\/p>

Software flaws are selected for the CWE Top 25 based on their potential to cause damage and their pervasiveness. Attackers \u201ccan often exploit these vulnerabilities to take control of an affected system, obtain sensitive information, or cause a Denial-of-Service condition,\u201d the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency said in its announcement of the release.<\/p>

This year\u2019s CWE Top 25 was developed using over 37,000 entries from the publicly available National Vulnerability Database, covering the previous two calendar years. Software weaknesses are rated based on severity and frequency to determine where they fall on the list.<\/p>

Out-of-bounds writes and XSS have now taken the top two spots on the list for three years running, while SQL injection jumped from sixth place\u2014which it had held for the previous two years\u2014to third.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cAs with past years, there is a continued transition in the Top 25 to more specific base-level weaknesses,\u201d the CWE team noted in its analysis of this year\u2019s changes, adding that there\u2019s also been \u201ca slow decline in the number of unique class-level weaknesses.\u201d<\/p>

Class-level weaknesses are relatively high level and generally aren\u2019t limited to a particular language or technology, while base-level weaknesses are defined with enough detail to indicate specific detection and prevention methods. By increasing the CWE Top 25\u2019s emphasis on base-level weaknesses, the CWE program hopes to help software professionals looking for concrete ways to mitigate cyber risk.<\/p>

\u201cThe program\u2019s goal is that this trend will benefit users attempting to better understand and address the issues that threaten today\u2019s systems at a more operational level,\u201d said the CWE team. \u201cBase-level weaknesses are more informative and conducive to practical mitigation than higher, class-level weaknesses.\u201d<\/p>

The CWE Top 25 list is released each year by the Homeland Security Systems Engineering and Development Institute, which is sponsored by CISA and operated by the MITRE Corporation.
