Maintenance
This category was created in CWE 4.7 to facilitate and illuminate discussion about weaknesses
in ICS with [REF-1248] as a starting point. After the release of CWE 4.9 in October 2022, this
has been under active review by members of the "Boosting CWE" subgroup of the CWE-CAPEC
ICS/OT Special Interest Group (SIG). Relationships are still subject to change. In addition, there
may be some issues in [REF-1248] that are outside of the current scope of CWE, which will
require consultation with many CWE stakeholders to resolve.

Category-1366: ICS Communications: Frail Security in Protocols
Category ID : 1366
Summary
Weaknesses in this category are related to the "Frail Security in Protocols" category from the SEI
ETF "Categories of Security Vulnerabilities in ICS" as published in March 2022: "Vulnerabilities
arise as a result of mis-implementation or incomplete implementation of security in ICS
implementations of communication protocols." Note: members of this category include "Nearest
IT Neighbor" recommendations from the report, as well as suggestions by the CWE team. These
relationships are likely to change in future CWE versions.
