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-269 - Improper Privilege ManagementThe software does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
