|  Summary Weaknesses in this category are related to the A3 category in the OWASP Top Ten 2010. Membership | Nature | Type | ID | Name | | MemberOf |  View - a subset of CWE entries that provides a way of examining CWE content. The two main view structures are Slices (flat lists) and Graphs (containing relationships between entries). | 809 | Weaknesses in OWASP Top Ten (2010) | | HasMember |  Class - a weakness that is described in a very abstract fashion, typically independent of any specific language or technology. More specific than a Pillar Weakness, but more general than a Base Weakness. Class level weaknesses typically describe issues in terms of 1 or 2 of the following dimensions: behavior, property, and resource. | 287 | Improper Authentication | | HasMember |  Base - a weakness that is still mostly independent of a resource or technology, but with sufficient details to provide specific methods for detection and prevention. Base level weaknesses typically describe issues in terms of 2 or 3 of the following dimensions: behavior, property, technology, language, and resource. | 306 | Missing Authentication for Critical Function | | HasMember | Base - a weakness that is still mostly independent of a resource or technology, but with sufficient details to provide specific methods for detection and prevention. Base level weaknesses typically describe issues in terms of 2 or 3 of the following dimensions: behavior, property, technology, language, and resource. | 307 | Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts | | HasMember | Base - a weakness that is still mostly independent of a resource or technology, but with sufficient details to provide specific methods for detection and prevention.

Using categories for mapping has been discouraged since 2019. Categories are informal organizational groupings of weaknesses that can help CWE users with data aggregation, navigation, and browsing. However, they are not weaknesses in themselves. | | Comments: See member weaknesses of this category. | References More information is available — Please edit the custom filter or select a different filter. |
