7、ecommendation ITU-T X.1524 Common weakness enumeration Summary Recommendation ITU-T X.1524 on the use of the common weakness enumeration (CWE) provides a structured means to exchange information security weaknesses that provides common names for publicly known problems in the commercial or open sour

8、ce software used in communication networks, end user devices, or any of the other types of information and communications technology (ICT) capable of running software. The goal of CWE is to enable more effective discussion, description, selection, and use of software security tools and services that

9、 can find these weaknesses in source codes and operational systems as well as better understanding and management of software weaknesses related to architecture and design. This Recommendation defines the use of CWE to provide a mechanism for software security tools, services, knowledge bases and ot

10、her capabilities to be used together, and to facilitate the comparison of security tools and services. CWE also offers supportive context information about possible risks, impacts, fix information, and detailed technical information about what the software weaknesses could mean to a software system.

11、 History Edition Recommendation Approval Study Group 1.0 ITU-T X.1524 2012-03-02 17 ii Rec. ITU-T X.1524 (03/2012) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs).

12、The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Stan

13、dardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of informatio

14、n technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. C

15、ompliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some othe

16、r obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implem

17、entation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process.

18、 As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly ur

ITU-T X.1524 (03/2012) Introduction The common weakness enumeration (CWE) Recommendation describes the use of CWE, a structured means to ex

23、change unified, measurable sets of software weaknesses that aims to provide common names for publicly known problems. The goal of CWE is to make it easier to enable more effective discussion, description, selection, and use of software security tools and services that can find these weaknesses in so

24、urce code and operational systems as well as to promote better understanding and management of software weaknesses related to architecture and design. The intention of CWE is to be comprehensive with respect to the causes behind all publicly known vulnerabilities and exposures, whether from weakness

25、es in the softwares architecture, design, code, or deployment. While CWE is designed to contain mature information, the primary focus is on identifying the weaknesses that can cause vulnerabilities and exposures. The review authority determines conformance on the use of CWE identifiers, as defined i

26、n this Recommendation. CWE gives leverage to existing work from within the cybersecurity community such as the large number of diverse real-world vulnerabilities specified in Recommendation ITU-T X.1520 Common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE). Many sources and examples are leveraged to develop th

27、e specific and succinct definitions of the CWE list elements and classification tree structures. In addition, appropriate mappings are created between CWEs and CVE names so that each CWE identifier has a list of the specific CVE names that belong to that particular CWE category of software security

28、weaknesses. In constructing the CWE list and classification tree, maximum comprehensive coverage across appropriate conceptual, business, and technical domains is sought. This Recommendation is technically equivalent to and compatible with the “Requirements and Recommendation for CWE Compatibility a

29、nd Effectiveness“, version 1.0, dated July 28, 2011 https:/cwe.mitre.org/compatible/requirements_v1.0.html. Rec. ITU-T X.1524 (03/2012) 1 Recommendation ITU-T X.1524 Common weakness enumeration 1 Scope This Recommendation on the use of the common weakness enumeration (CWE) provides a “structured mea

30、ns“ for the global exchange of information about software security weaknesses in architecture, design, code, or deployment that can make software systems insecure, unreliable and vulnerable to attack. Security tools, assessment services, and some types of security reviews can detect these types of s

31、oftware weaknesses. This “structured means“ is often referred to as “CWE Compatibility“ and defines the correct use of CWE. An information security weakness is a mistake in the software that could result in a vulnerability that can be used by a hacker to gain access to a system or network. The assig

32、nment of CWE identifiers is not within the scope of this Recommendation. A list of repositories for CWE identifiers and the associated context information is available in Appendix I. The intention of CWE, the use of which is defined in this Recommendation, is to be comprehensive with respect to the

33、software architecture, design, coding, and deployment errors that are the root causes of vulnerabilities and exposures. While CWE is designed to contain mature information, the primary focus is on identifying, educating, and describing these root causes of vulnerabilities and exposures so they can b

34、e avoided by developers, tested for, and managed by development teams as well as consistently reported by security tools and services. This Recommendation is technically equivalent to and compatible with the “Requirements and Recommendation for CWE Compatibility and Effectiveness“, version 1.0, date
