CWE-123: Write-what-where Condition
Weakness ID : 123
Structure : Simple
Abstraction : Base
Description
Any condition where the attacker has the ability to write an arbitrary value to an arbitrary location,
often as the result of a buffer overflow.
Relationships
The table(s) below shows the weaknesses and high level categories that are related to this
weakness. These relationships are defined as ChildOf, ParentOf, MemberOr and give insight to
similar items that may exist at higher and lower levels of abstraction. In addition, relationships such
as PeerOf and CanAlsoBe are defined to show similar weaknesses that may want to be explored.
