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.

Summary
Weaknesses in this category are related to the "Zone Boundary Failures" category from the SEI
ETF "Categories of Security Vulnerabilities in ICS" as published in March 2022: "Within an ICS
system, for traffic that crosses through network zone boundaries, vulnerabilities arise when those
boundaries were designed for safety or other purposes but are being repurposed for security."
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.
