MITRE frameworks

MITRE Corporation is a not-for-profit organization that operates Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) in the United States. One of MITRE’s key contributions to software security is the development and maintenance of the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) and Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) standards:

1. CWE:

• Purpose: CWE is a community-developed dictionary of common software weaknesses that can lead to security vulnerabilities. It provides a standardized way to identify, describe, and categorize software weaknesses.
• Use cases: Developers, security professionals, and researchers use CWE to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities during the SDLC. It aids in improving the security of software by providing a common language for discussing and addressing weaknesses.

2. CVE:

• Purpose: CVE is a standardized identifier system for publicly known security vulnerabilities. Each CVE entry includes a unique identifier...
