Welcome to the CWE Advisor Tool (CWE)

App Version: 1.0.1


Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE™) is a community-developed list of common software and hardware weakness

types that have security ramifications. A “weakness” is a condition in a software, firmware, hardware, or

service component that, under certain circumstances, could contribute to the introduction of vulnerabilities.

The CWE List and associated classification taxonomy serve as a language that can be used to identify and describe

these weaknesses in terms of CWEs.




Primarily, CWE helps developers and security practitioners to:


  1. Describe and discuss software and hardware weaknesses in a common language.>
  2. Check for weaknesses in existing software and hardware products.
  3. Evaluate coverage of tools targeting these weaknesses.
  4. Leverage a common baseline standard for weakness identification, mitigation, and prevention efforts.
  5. Prevent software and hardware vulnerabilities before deployment.
