Common Weakness Enumeration
CWE-199
Grouping ProhibitedInformation Management Errors
Status: Draft
Weaknesses in this category are related to improper handling of sensitive information.
Grouping entries organize the catalogue and should not be used to map the root cause of a vulnerability.
Mapping guidance
This entry is a Grouping. Using groupings for mapping has been discouraged since 2019. They are informal organizational groupings of weaknesses that can help CWE users with data aggregation, navigation, and browsing. However, they are not weaknesses in themselves.
