MITRE has released its annual list of the Top 25 "Most dangerous software weaknesses" for the year 2023.

"These weaknesses lead to serious vulnerabilities in software," the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said.

"An attacker can often exploit these vulnerabilities to take control of an affected system, steal data, or prevent applications from working."

The list is based on an analysis of public vulnerability data in the National Vulnerability Data for root cause mappings to CWE weaknesses for the previous two years.

70 vulnerabilities added to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog in 2021 and 2022 were Out-of-bounds Write bugs.

"Trend analysis on vulnerability data like this enables organizations to make better investment and policy decisions in vulnerability management," the Common Weakness Enumeration research team said.
