Deprecated Entries
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 nodes in this view (slice) have been deprecated. There should be a reference pointing to the replacement in each deprecated weakness.
