Category-1377: ICS Engineering (Construction/Deployment): Inherent
Predictability in Design
Category ID : 1377
Summary
Weaknesses in this category are related to the "Inherent Predictability in Design" category from
the SEI ETF "Categories of Security Vulnerabilities in ICS" as published in March 2022: "The
commonality of design (in ICS/SCADA architectures) for energy systems and environments opens
up the possibility of scaled compromise by leveraging the inherent predictability in the design."
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.

Relationship
Relationships in this category are not authoritative and subject to change. See Maintenance
notes.
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.
