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-1371: ICS Supply Chain: Poorly Documented or Undocumented
Features
Category ID : 1371
Summary
Weaknesses in this category are related to the "Poorly Documented or Undocumented Features"
category from the SEI ETF "Categories of Security Vulnerabilities in ICS" as published in
March 2022: "Undocumented capabilities and configurations pose a risk by not having a clear
understanding of what the device is specifically supposed to do and only do. Therefore possibly
opening up the attack surface and vulnerabilities." 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.
