Seven Pernicious Kingdoms
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.
This view (graph) organizes weaknesses using a hierarchical structure that is similar to that used by Seven Pernicious Kingdoms.
Target Audience
Software Developers
This view is useful for developers because it is organized around concepts with which developers are familiar, and it focuses on weaknesses that can be detected using source code analysis tools.
