Summary
Weaknesses in this category are related to the "Compliance/Conformance with Regulatory
Requirements" category from the SEI ETF "Categories of Security Vulnerabilities in ICS" as
published in March 2022: "The ICS environment faces overlapping regulatory regimes and
authorities with multiple focus areas (e.g., operational resiliency, physical safety, interoperability,
and security) which can result in cyber security vulnerabilities when implemented as written due to
gaps in considerations, outdatedness, or conflicting requirements." 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.

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). Subgroup members did not find any CWEs to add to this
category in CWE 4.11. There may be some gaps with respect to CWE's current scope, which will
require consultation with many CWE stakeholders to resolve.
