CWE-844: Understanding CWE 844: Adherence to The CERT Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java

The entries regarding CWE in this graph can be completely or partially resolved by adhering to the instructions provided in the 2011 publication "The CERT Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java." However, it should be noted that this graph is now outdated, as a more recent edition of the coding standard is now accessible.

The graph below illustrates the hierarchical connections between weaknesses found at different levels of abstraction. At the highest level, there are categories and pillars that serve as groupings for weaknesses. Categories, although not technically weaknesses themselves, are specific CWE entries used to categorize weaknesses sharing common characteristics. Pillars, on the other hand, are overarching weaknesses described in a highly abstract manner. Below these top-level entries, there are weaknesses at various levels of abstraction. Classes, being highly abstract, are generally independent of any particular language or technology. Base level weaknesses, on the other hand, provide a more specific type of weakness. Variants are weaknesses that are described in great detail, often limited to a specific language or technology. Chains refer to a set of weaknesses that must be sequentially reachable to exploit a vulnerability. Composite weaknesses, on the other hand, require all their constituent weaknesses to be present simultaneously in order to exploit a vulnerability.
