MITRE has released its annual list of the Top 25 “most dangerous software weaknesses” for the year 2023. When any organization hears this, the first question that should pop to mind is how these top 25 impact their organization. This list shouldn’t be the only thing to validate against, but its ideal to use as a tool for adjusting how vulnerabilities are be prioritized by your vulnerability management program.
The list is based on an analysis of public vulnerability data in the National Vulnerability Data (NVD) for root cause mappings to CWE weaknesses for the previous two years. A total of 43,996 CVE entries were examined and a score was attached to each of them based on prevalence and severity.
