Common Weakness Enumeration
- CWE-184 - Incomplete List of Disallowed InputsThe product implements a protection mechanism that relies on a list of inputs (or properties of inputs) that are not allowed by policy or otherwise require other action to neutralize before additional processing takes place, but the list is incomplete, leading to resultant weaknesses.
- CWE-77 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection')The software constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component.
