Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-600

Weakness Allowed

Uncaught Exception in Servlet

Abstraction: Variant · Status: Draft

The Servlet does not catch all exceptions.

Mapping guidance

This CWE entry is at the Variant level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.

Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.

Maintenance

The "Missing Catch Block" concept is probably broader than just Servlets, but the broader concept is not sufficiently covered in CWE.
