Weaknesses Addressed by the SEI CERT Perl Coding Standard
A view in the Common Weakness Enumeration published by The MITRE Corporation.
Objective
Views in the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) represent one perspective with which to consider a set of weaknesses.
CWE entries in this view (graph) are fully or partially eliminated by following the guidance presented in the online wiki that reflects that current rules and recommendations of the SEI CERT Perl Coding Standard.
Target Audience
Educators
Educators can use this view in multiple ways. For example, if there is a focus on teaching weaknesses, the educator could link them to the relevant Secure Coding Standard.
Product Customers
If a software developer claims to be following the SEI CERT Perl Coding Standard, then customers can search for the weaknesses in this view in order to formulate independent evidence of that claim.
Software Developers
By following the SEI CERT Perl Coding Standard, developers will be able to fully or partially prevent the weaknesses that are identified in this view. In addition, developers can use a CWE coverage graph to determine which weaknesses are not directly addressed by the standard, which will help identify and resolve remaining gaps in training, tool acquisition, or other approaches for reducing weaknesses.
